DB9 vs Continental GT vs SL55 vs 612S

That was not the point of my sentence. I just added that in for emphasis. But I maintain that the Enzo and the Carrera GT are superior performance machines than the SLR.

Yes, they are. But the SLR was never intended to be competition on the track for the Enzo and Carrera GT. The SLR can be driven daily unlike the Enzo and Carrera. And since very few people can actually push any of these cars to the limit it makes the SLR a much better buy than the other two.

We'll agree to disagree.

I personally don't like V8's (I hide it well). So that plus the weight of the SLR and my preference for NA cars doesn't allow me to respect it as a Supercar.

But you're entitled to your opinion.

Anyway, we're off topic. The DB9 is a wonderfully designed car. Ulrich Bez hasn't lost his touch. And it was genius how he completely banned Ford from any involvement in its R&D. I wouldn't even consider buying it otherwise.
