Eggy vs Pagy

[8-ball]

The Koenigsegg CC 8S or the Pagani Zonda C12-S 7.3 if money didn't matter. I would choose the egg.

Do u even hafta ask?
The Koenigsegg most definitely and without a doubt.

I would deffinately go with the Pagani. Both are extremely rare, both go way too fast to even matter. I like the fact that you can buy a Pagani, which is an area I hope Koenigsegg is working on. I think the Zonda looks way better than the Egg, and thats why it gets my vote. It is the epitome of exotica.

If money didn't matter? The Egg is a clean 100k cheaper then the Zonda.

the egg is faster to 60, in the quarter mile, handles better both the skidpad and slalom, has more topspeed - and if it matters - legroom.

It has more power, less money, and last I heard, a guy in ohio is taking delivery - so they very much are for sale.

And if a pagani can be serviced by a mercedes dealer, a ford dealer could fix your egg, whose engine is very similar to the one that goes into the Mustang Cobra, it's gearbox is very alike the one that goes into ford GT, except for some reason they both just work better in the egg, and again - the whole it is better in all measurable ways for less money.

Ok, show me a Koenigsegg dealership. And I wouldn't trust a Ford dealership to make repairs on my Egg. I'm not too sure I would want Mercedes mechanics working over my Pagani either, but Ford, hell no. There is a reason that the Ford parts work better in the Egg than in the Ford vehicles, it's because Koenigseeg did the installation, callibration, monkeying-around, or whatever goes into putting one together and Ford did not. The Egg can go 20 mph faster than the Pagani, but when that 20 mph is in the 220-240 braket, I dont think it matters much because we all know that if we were blessed to own one of these cars, it would never see that. Grip and acceleration are the only things that you could see driving every day, but I dont think I need 1.15 g's, .98 is good enough for me, and if it's not good enough for you, you need to reconsider some things. 3.2 to 3.7 0-60, ok, yeah, Egg gets my vote here. Personally though, the Pagani is far supreme from a design standpoint. A true supercar must have a few things (in my opinion): top speed in excess of 200 mph, 0-60 <4.2 sec, >.95 g's, exotic materials. In addition, I believe that it should be Italian or German (with few exceptions ie:S7,Mclaren), and it shoud have a V12 or higher (although, I do consider the Carerra Gt a supercar). These are my opinions of course, but that is how I justify choosing the Pagani over the Koenigsegg, while money is no option of course.

Yeah, he probably ordered when he was 35, and now he's old and grey and gave up driving years ago.

Eggy is the biggest pile of overhyped crap ever. More important than a car's on paper stats, is how a car feels, and how it makes you feel while driving it. With the Eggy, you can take pride in the fact that you have an obscure Swedish exotic ( powered by a Ford parts, so much for Swedish flagship exotic ) You can take pride in the fact that you didn't spend as much as the guy in the Pagani, and have more ultimate grip than he. But the Pagani is the true star.

Also you must think of other qualities. Now a days it's all HP and the size of the engine. The Koenigsegg has a V-8 and The Pagani has a V-12 but yet the Koenigsegg still beats the Pagani in performance. Since the Koenigsegg has the smaller engine it would cost less on gas and as thepolarfoxqx said, it has more legroom. The Swedish are arguably the safest auto makers in the world so the Koenigsegg is probably safer. And last but not least, the doors. The best doors are scissor doors because they require less room to open. The worst are the ones that come up because they require the most room. So let's look at the Scoreboard shall we.

Koenigsegg
-price (just saying)
-gas
-doors
-performance
-safety

Pagani
-mercedes will work on
-Italian

I would say I would take the Koenigsegg.

The Swedish build safe passenger cars, although I think the exotic field might be a big gray area.
