Not at all. The Evo has better seats, a better stereo, a better Nav

Real race history? Who won the 2007 Le Mans, GT1 class? I remind you,
Le Mans is truly a road circuit, and race that separates the lesser from
the greater.

I thought you would have done a little research.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Okay Marty, YOU need to do some research! Who campaigned
the DB9? Show us the DB9's race history vs. the Evo. Evo's are pro
raced daily and you might notice that an Evo just took a coveted prize
in one of the top rally races in the world. The DB9 is a luxury
cruising machine, Marty. It's not a hardcore sports car. It's funny
because the longer you and Donal fail to understand that, the dopier
you all sound.

Bottom line: Never buy anything Ford is involved with! The DB9 at 165K
doesn't have a single performance spec that is ahead of the pack. NOT
ONE. The Nissan GT-R I have a deposit on outdoes it in every single
respect that is key to high performance driving and at half the price.
The GT-R is also built better. The DB9 is a pretty, but expensive joke
on those who are more interested in how they appear to others. It's a
unique mix of high quality with little substance. The fact that an Evo
X bests in so many ways important to driving is humiliating enough.
Add a GT-R into the mix at just 75K and the DB9 seems like a Mini
Cooper by comparison.

EVOx is a cheap piece of junk. For a little over twice the money you could
have a 630 horsepower, 600 ft-lb of torque, true sports car that does 0-60
in 3.4 seconds, 0-100 in 7 seconds with a top speed of 200 (11.3 in quarter
mile.
