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.

It will? How? Using the traction control to the rear diff or the
stability control?

Donal, no one thinks a DB9 handles better than a Evo. That's probably
because it wasn't designed to. To put it in perspective a tuned Evo
will be more nimble than a new GT-R.


With time you may learn about cars and driving. A LOT of time.

I'm guessing that you mean 50 miles from Manhattan or even the
boroughs.
I know you're pretty ignorant, but you might want to check maximum
elevation and distance of Kent Cliffs. The photo was taken from my
deck as stated.

You checkmated yourself a while back with this one.

OK Kent Cliffs is *60* miles north of NYC.
My statement was that it taken more than 50 miles
from NY.
Far from checkmating myself, I have shown you
what can be gleaned from even a poor quality image.

You said it wasn't taken from my home. It was.
You were wrong and even more so since you added the part about
distance, so you were even wrong about where I actually am. So you
were wrong twice.

As for the image, I like it a lot. It's taken piggyback with one short
exposure and no wedge.

But let's not lose sight of your hilarious DB9 computer statement.
That was truly funny! And you got to be wrong yet again!

1st time I ever tried such a shot and this was with a Nikon D300 and a
Tamron 90 DI Macro lens, ISO 1000 and 64 seconds. That's near the
limit without an EQ wedge due to field rotation. I was also happy with
it since the Scope was sitting on my wood deck!
