Get what? *You seem to be concentrating
on performance alone,



Not at all. The Evo has better seats, a better stereo, a better Nav
system with a server. It has better handling and a real race history
that equals pedigree missing from the DB9 above and beyond it's
elitist credentials set on price alone.



Unfortunately, all the

hard evidence shows that the DB9 craps all
over the Evo in the performance department as
well.



Please show me any test showing the DB9 pulling 1.04 G on a skidpad.
While you're at it show us it's versatility and ability to handle
anything besides dry weather! It's fast in a straight line...just like
a any worked big block Chevy.



No, Bob. * I believe that sometimes you get what you
pay for.


And sometimes you don't. Seeing how I drive fast cars and own one and
you're taking lessons, it's clear you believe what you want and ignore
the experts.


*If you want to buy a cheap car that rattles
a lot, then by all means get yourself an Evo.



Hmmm. I own a less expensive Legacy GT Turbo. It has no rattles.



But, don't go boasting about it, *because nobody
is going to be impressed.



Right, only EVERY everyone else is raving about the car, calling it a
revolution. It's one of two cars in the world to have both active yaw
control and active center differential and the ONLY car to employ it
with S-AWD. I do admit that it's Casino parking rating is lower than a
DB9, but it's a enthusiast driver's joy. The fact that it's able to
outgun the DB9 in so many ways is testiment to out motivated the
engineers are these days. Clearly you need a car to build on something
you percieve as missing from your personality. That's rough since you
don't own a DB9 or any fast car. How do you survive with such
egotistical fragility? You must never go to Casinos!
Hey, I kid about the stuff I buy and it's "value" which is pretty
silly. But YOU actually believe it. That's a tough life to live and I
do feel sorry for you.
