Our verdict

If you value precision, feedback and pure driving accuracy, the Prancing Horse is the sharper instrument. If you crave drama, noise and an occasion every time you turn the key, the Raging Bull delivers an emotional experience nothing else can match. Neither is wrong — the winner depends entirely on the driver you are.
