    herbie and here are three reasons why.


    1) he is aircooled
    2) the mach 5 was a cartoon (or cgi animated if you are talking about the movie), everyone knows that herbie was real.
    3) he won at monte carlo, he rode again, and he went bananas. what more can you ask of a little bug?

    Depends on the surface of the track

    If it is muddy or holds standing water, I'd put my money on Herbie. On a dry flat surface I might favor Mach 5.

    Now if the race involves anything where the car must be in the upside down position, I'd bet the farm on Herbie!

    a few more reasons

    4) buddy hacket vs. pops racer.. no contest, buddy hacket hands down.
    5) don knotts vs. spritle ...you know don knotts is the bomb
    6) Lohan vs tricksey... at least lohan was still cute then right?
    7) the beatle was originally designed by ferdinand porsche.
