Personally I love all this Koenigsegg v. Pagani stuff. It reminds me a lot of Chevy v. Ford. Each will have an advantage for a time, only to be overtaken a bit later on, for a time. All the while fans of both can make valid arguments of why their brand is better.

Personally I'm a Chevy (GM) guy. Why? I just am, I guess. These things are deeply rooted and highly emotional. I'm also a Koenigsegg guy. And yet I see in Pagani some really cool things. Pagani does some things better than Koenigsegg, and vice versa. But I'm still a Koenigsegg guy.

I live in an area on the border of Illinois and Wisconsin where we have a blend of Bears and Packers fans. And while I'm a Bears fan and want the Bears to win and when I'm at a game and in full meathead mode I'm yelling "Packers suck!", I still have to bregrudgingly admit they've got a pretty good team up there.

So whether Pagani or Koenigsegg fans (owners most likely none of us), and regardless of this stat or that time, I think we can all agree that the world is better for having both.

Go ahead and root, but root respectfully.

That is how you put it, and receive no argument.


Now if you take your personal liking and make believe that its the most superior thing..you better back it up

Personally I'm not convinced this rendering is authentic. It doesn't look much like work that Koenigsegg would have put together, as far as the quality of the graphics.

I think I read somewhere that this is what the customer was aiming for, and the BLT was the result?

In any case to me it looks a bit too much.

Imho, Pagani = superior in every single way to Koenigsegg.

Work of art on wheels > glorified kitcar.

This is a pointless discussion and is starting to look more and more like the comment section on a youtube video, but calling Koenigsegg a glorified kitcar is a tad overkill IMHO

I love both Pagani and Koenigsegg (the cars, not Horacio or Christian)

Thank god I'm never going to be in a situation where I have to choose between the two.

Lol I'm quite a big Ford guy, and probably the only reason is because my first car that I still own is a 99 F150. Big ol' 5.4l V8. The same block the Ford GT was based on! Kinda... But I like Chevy's too, really I'm just a big fan of American companies in the long run. I'd kill for a ZR1.

Same thing with Koenigsegg and Pagani. I've seen and been around both cars, and the Koenigsegg just makes a much greater impression upon me. I love the zest and passion Horacio puts into his cars, but I think that feat is equaled by Koenigsegg. Listening to both Christian and Horacio talk about their cars is pretty cool, you can tell how much they care about each one that rolls of the production line.

Oh and 1.66 G Huayra thing. Ya that was reported by Pagani on one corner of the 'Ring. Cars can easily exceed what they are rated for lateral g's on banked corners. I'd like to see what it can pull on a skidpad.
