Truth is they're both great boats, it's just not a fair comparison. Mustangs (I own one) and Camaro's are cool cars but don't compare them to Ferrari or Porsche.

"Chevrolet is quick to point out that the Z/28's time is a bit better than the 991 Porsche 911 Carrera S and a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, and we can add the Lexus LFA and Ford GT to the list of cars the Camaro bests."
I would agree about not comparing the Mustang though

So you're saying you'd take the Camaro over the Carrera S and Lamborghini Murcielago LP640?
Know response needed we know the answer.
This thread might have been a lot different if the question was which boat is faster. BTW - I'd go with Fountain on that one. Again, I like Fountain, wish they would start building again. Good looking, fun and fast boats. Also think the go-fast industry needs Fountain back in the game.

All the bashing is amusing but, we are comparing apples to Bulldozers. Fountains are production boats and Cig's are custom boats. While Fountains are faster (weight to horsepower ratio) Cig's are some serious wave crushers with their hull design. I know.... I've heard it all before. Fountains length is exaggerated because of the beak. Has anyone ever seen how much of any boat is touching the water at more than 70mph??? it aint much. The weight to horsepower ratio is more realistic. For the last 12 years I've sat on my toilet reading Powerboat Magazine, I've got most of the memorized. The fact is none of them are really any better or worse, it's more about what you want in a boat...... Now, lets start the O.L bashing:

Cigs for sure have way better build quality at least compared to the last new Fountain I saw in Miami in 2011 the red 42 had horrible paint and detail work, I was very surprised the amount of orange peel alone...
