I'm glad that my wife wouldn't be impressed by
an Evo.

And yet virtually every pro driver is. I guess your wife is above
"pro" level since she alone discounts the achievement that the Evo
represents.

Nah.... my wife drives a Nissan Micra.


However, The Pro driver who tutored me on the
driving course seemed impressed with the DB9.

On the skid pan, he looked at me and said
"Not many people have spun a DB9 five times".

Will you ever spin a DB9? .....No, you won't.

Would you like to? Of course not! That is
the diference between you and I. You would
like to spin an Evo. I have higher aspirations.




0-60??? Top speed???

You are talking absolute nonsense, as usual.

Wake up, Donal. It's 2008, not 1975. There are a LOT of fast cars out
there. The Euro spec's Evo is as fast as the DB9

No, it isn't.



and is FAR more agile
on the track in STOCK trim! Not only that, but you'd need a perfect
launch to get ahead of the AWD Evo. Like I said. It's 2008 and the
high end is about handling. If you wanna drag race, the DB9 loses to a
LOT of cars costing a LOT less.

.... and yet the only race between the two cars shows
that the Evo was absolutely thrashed!





The M3 is a boy's car. The DB9 is a man's car.

The M3 outhandles the DB9 easily, just like the Evo. How is a car that
shouts "look at me!" manly?

Emmmm...... are you really asking why a 12 cylinder, 6L engine
car is manly??? Why don't you tell us about the rather gay
specs os the Evo?

DRIVERS prefer a Q car, which is why a lot
of Evo owners remove the wing.

DB9 owners remove nothing.


Afraid??

No.

You're not making a good case.

Nah, you're not mad! This little debate has gone great for you! You're
on par with John McCain!

I have to admit that you have insulted me with that one.
Despite the insult, I feel that I will be able to carry on.

I'm sorry. The McCain comparison was unjustified and I retract it.

Apology accepted. However, I must admit that my wife
bears some similarities to Sarah Palin.


I admit that you are correct when you say that
an Evo has more class than a DB9.

No, not MORE class. The DB9 is a classy car to be sure. But it's
simply not a better handling car than an Evo, M3

I would argue this point with you.


or GT-R

I don't know about the GT-R.


and driving
enthusiasts are usually looking for handling and speed at the top end
first and foremost. In THAT class the DB9 loses to a lot of better
designed suspensions and drive trains.

No, it doesn't.




You are a genius. Not many people would have
been able to figure out that an Evo would be more
desirable than a DB9.

Only a poor person will "desire" a car like the DB9 over an Evo. It
represents a level of wealth few people can attain. I could afford
one, but frankly I'd be crazy to buy one. I want fun, practicality and
performance in a car, not the best parking spot.


Well, we will have to agree that you are a rich person
who can afford an Evo. You obviously are not poor
enough to be reduced to a DB9 which onlu costs about
5 times as much as a cheap Evo.


I am envious that your wife is intelligent enough
to see that your Evo is better than a DB9.

She sure does. She knows the DB9 would be useless around here on wet
or snowy roads and it stands out in a boastful way she does not enjoy.
She enjoys luxuries, like the hot tub I just bought her, but she
doesn't like to advertise them to the world.

Again, sorry about the McCain thing.

No problem.....

Donal
