I cant give you a comparison I can only tell you what I think about the Serpent. Its basicly the only car that does all 3 things you want from a car really well. Its extremely light and agile, its easy to drive and its a tank when it comes to hard hits.
Im normally a brand switcher, I switch brands all the time cause Ive never seemed to be able to find something that really fits me but ever since I got my first 811 Ive never looked back.
