Next car after V8V
#17
Ah yes, buy and enjoy. I'm thinking I actually like the itch. Gives me something to look forward to. Haha. Now thinking I should just wait and try to make the v12 make sense.
I tried sitting in a 430 and I don't fit, so not sure Ferrari is an option (not happy about this). Never been a huge fan of the r8 or lambos, but that's just me.

What do you guys think this car could go for since it has a few miles?

. Yes that could be a problem but the Evora is substantially larger inside compared with the Exige. I am only 5.9 190 lbs and I did not fit in the Exige. However I did like the Evora a lot. Great curves and nice intimate interior.

You may be happiest with the '09 v8v 4.7 ... read the thread seems like the right direction for you to lean into and a natural next step.
I agree with the comments on the GTR, many of my friends have them I could have gotten one also. A buddy of mine told me recently to drive his slightly modded GTR, and that after I do I will want to sell my DB9 (he didn't know I had a decent amount of experience inside GTRs before)...I thought to myself " Um, no. The GTR and DB9 comparison is like that of **** star to beautiful and elegant classy women...sure they are both hot in their own way, sure they can both be good in the sack...BUT which one would you like to take out for dinner, out to a gala event, or back home to the family afterwards !!!

Make sure you have the steering wheel adjusted properly. It telescopes and moves up and down. Level is far down the column.

Sat in a 430 vert and didn't fit with the top up and seat all the way down and back. Maybe the coupe is different?
Thanks for the feedback guys.
As for the analogy, for us happily married folk, perhaps the GTR is the right way to go :-). It's spot on as my mind oos and ahs whenever see one. Quite in line with the analogy.
If I figure out a way to get into a 430, then maybe my mindset will change...

Interesting. I have a bit of the opposite reaction. When I see a GTR I find myself thinking, it's not much to look at, but I bet it's really fast.

I also think the GTR interior is not particularly appealing, but that's just based on pictures since I have not peered through the window of one.

GTR has only one thing going, speed potential. Out of the box they are pretty fast, but what really is their advantage is the potential of how fast they are once you start modding them. Other than that, it's a big car, heavy/bulky, not a driver's car, and lacks soul and passion trading those virtues for techno wizzardry and gadgets, the thing practically can drive itself
