That's putting it nicely. A DB9 is a road car, not a canyon slicer.

You know absolutely *nothing* about driving a DB9. Your posts
make it clear that you have never even been a passenger in a DB9.



The Evo is so much more fun. But folks like Donal literally see
something more shiny and they expect it must be better. The Aston is
VERY shiny, but it's so far down the rungs of handling that I find it
hard to believe any school course with use one. An M3 would make much
more sense. I actually don't think an Evo would be best to teach
someone like Donal though. The Evo is best for someone who understands
balance and the full benefit of the AYC system. He needs to play with
more basic metal before he can appreciate why the Evo is being stacked
up against supercars.

I agree. The Evo is best for people understand balance. The DB9 is
for people who don't need to bother learning about balance. You
can floor it into a sharp corner, and the computer system will
take care of balance. When I mentioned 50mph right angle turns in an
earlier post, the bit that I omitted was that they were done on a
wet skid pan! The car skidded less than 8 feet!!!

Bob, you don't seem to understand the difference between a "Supercar"
and a turbo-charged family saloon. The DB9's handling is not as good
as the Bugati Veyron. But, it is much better than the turbo-charged
Evo.

Now, why don't you tell us where you took that photo of M31? As I
said
earlier, it wasn't taken within 50 miles of New York.


Pawn to K5. Check.
