You reveal your character by choosing the Evo.



Someone who loves driving most of all. The same type of person who
prefers a Miata to a Z4 or a Lotus Elise over a BMW 335i. Or a 135i
over a Infiniti G35s.
Donal, you need many more lessons before you'll understand what a
specialty car is and the kind of person who buys one. It's about
handling refinement, feedback and balance. It's not about raw power.
That's why the poor DB9 trails most serious sports cars in every
respect important to driving. And that's why a Evo X bests the Aston
in many respects on handling finesse and why the GT-R bests in EVERY
respect. The Aston is a AMC Gremlin compared to the DB9.

And before you say anything more to wet your own bed, consider that
the GT-R is capable of 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and can handle a skidpad
WELL over a full G. It handles even better than the Evo X. No car made
today can touch it. And guess what? The build quality is higher than
the DB9.

Now that's funny! Bob you slay me. How you get people to take this crap
seriously enough to argue with you is a real art. You are the master.

Even though I've been in both cars and you haven't you might want to
consider the facts.

The DB9 is a partially hand built car and so is the GT-R. The DB9 is a
expensive car from a company that has nearly gone under several times
and has been unable to survive on it's own. Their products do not
represent the best of the market in any respect and NEVER have. If you
find the DB9 to be the most beautiful car and that's what matters most
to you then buy one.
Now consider the Nissan GT-R. Only 1500 were built for USA and it
represents virtually every technology available to maximize high
performance driving. It is built to a MUCH higher spec than any Lexus
or Infiniti for example. Unlike the DB9 the GT-R rides no rails
between luxury and speed. It has one goal. It's sophistication is so
far beyond the DB9 that it completely antiquates it. Even the GT-R
seats are the very best and the interior is being called the best
ever, not just for a supercar, but for ANY car. Manufacturing
tolerances for the GT-R were further refined beyond all previous
standards. The cockpit of the GT-R has instrumentation that even
displays G force and specific acceleration charts. It's not just a bit
better handling or somewhat faster than a DB9. It's HUGELY faster and
better handling. 0-60 at 3.3 seconds and the car has yet to be flash
tuned!
Amazingly, on a tight road coarse, the Evo is nearly as fast. Only the
GT-R's massive HP advantage lets it pull away in the short straights.

In the end a simple fact remains. None of you own a DB9, Evo X or GT-
R. Ozzy and I are buying Evo's and I have a deposit on a GT-R with my
dealer in New Rochelle. The rest of you are googling up fast cars and
taking laughable driving lessons. You saw a DB9 being driven by James
Bond and you wet yourselves. Then you drove home in your Pontiacs or
Jeep or old-man-sedan. So what are YOU driving? Don't bother being
embarrassed. It's really too late for that.

'90 Nissan Pathfinder, 300k on it, best damned snow truck I've ever had.
When you get your GT-R, bring it up here in January, we'll race
around the block. Betcha my Nissan beats yours, (well in three feet of
snow). I'll even give you a handicap, I'll tow a trailer with a couple
of cords of hickory in it!

BWAHAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nissan Pathfinder and in the year range for
the bad rear end. Best snow truck??? Even more laughable. On snow
that's not over the road height either my Legacy Turbo or Evo or the
GT-R are FAR better and safer in the snow. It's not even close.
Now that I see what you drive I know you're nothing but a mag driver.
Enjoy your next issue of Car & Driver, but try to remember that some
of us actually DRIVE and OWN fast cars.

Well see, I knew you had a BWAHAAA in you! Bad rear ends eh? I guess
I've been lucky. What is the road height for you EVO? Maybe 6 inches?
You couldn't get to my place in the summer with that, never mind
through 3 feet of snow. Different vehicles for different needs.

Do you have a CRX with low profile tires and one of those silly "throaty
sounding" mufflers?

I'm sure your car is lot of fun to drive, where you live, but for me it
just wouldn't work, neither would an DB9, I'd have to bring home on a float.

Hey Marty, I'll have to get my ole CJ-7 going. Now, that would be fun. Can
we include driving over fallen redwoods?

Sure, but you'll have to haul 'em up here. I can provide you with oak,
maple, ash, hickory, elm, birch, beach, black cherry.. they all grow on
the farm.

That won't cut it, Jon. Bob's car has the anti-gravity chip mod, and
can fly right over the fallen redwood... And your jeep.



Dang, I thought Q only put those things in Aston Martins.

I remember now. It only cost him $1B, but his part-time job is good enough
to cover it. Or, was it book sales. I forget.
