612 VS. DB9

whats your take on this? my dad wants the DB9 but is also considering the 612 ferrari. And remember i live in michigan and the car would be driven year round. I really have no idea on which one is better. which one has more problems and what are they? experience? etc....

 

vic...you are not taking heed to the survival advice.

 

lol...

what do they say about natural selection ?

 

My thoughts exactly

 

Just to answer your question even though it will be completely different next week.

I would go DB9, i just love the look of them, I dont know what 612s are going for but they seem to be very rare compared to a DB9. I will give you my Phantom vs. Maybach, G55 vs. Cayenne Turbo, 997 vs. R8 etc when you ask for it...excuse me when your dad asks for it.

 

Jeez, this kid............... On another note though the 612 looks bloated and ugly.

 

Dammit, I was enjoying the peace the past month or two. Thought this crap was over for good.

 

tell your dad to research it himself.

 

Come on guys, we all have these problems....

My dad wants to buy an Airbus A880 (yeah, it's spelled correctly, it's a project only for him, flying at Mach 50, with 90000 sqft of space including an olympic OUTDOOR swimming pool, convenient when you fly at 8800000000 (hence the name) ft. from the ground, and everything even the wheels is burr walnut or uranium (platinum is too cheap he got said), but he got recently tempted by a new mega yacht that is about the size of the atlantic ocean, but it still has a black hole (no, not THAT one) for propulsion, because you can also use to fly to the moon overnight.
On the other hand, maybe a Yugo wouldn't be that bad either uh, at least it has -sometimes- four wheels and drives (not that often though), and best of the best, it exists ?

Now to answer your question, 612 is a very fine drive that looks a bit odd but has more rear room than a Conti GT. DB9 on the other hand has about as much rear room as you have odds ever seating in the car . Performance-wise they're +/- even, but the DB9 can be had with a proper slushbox or with manual tranny, while the 612 has no proper automatic option.
I'd take a DB9 with the sportspack option. But who cares, take both posters, i'll offer you them

 

Mazda Miata or MR2?

 

Vik, here is a suggestion. When you start these threads, just say you want to know the comparison between the two cars. Leave out the dad part.

So your post should read like:

" whats your take on this? I really have no idea on which one is better. which one has more problems and what are they? experience? etc...."

 

Wow I can't believe any useful advice actually came out of this thread.

 

its not that I am being an idiot about it, i just dont know the differences, im trying to leave my father out of this but its what he wants to buy and he is asking my for advice and I have no idea about neither cars so that means i turn to you guys, i really dont appreaciate the teasing either, its insulting and degrading and I dont deserve that, I have served my time and i am ready for a fresh start. I cant tell you how much i missed the forums since i was gone. and how much i missed the guys who took my advice seriously. thank you all for the support.

 

i don't think the feeling is mutual.

 

what feeling?

 

Who?

 

this feeling.

 

dont question my integrity please, what i say is what i mean. i am offended by your rude and outlandish comments, you are 20-30ish years old and making statements everywhere i turn. go away. i asked for advice not a stalker

 

i make statements to mock your crazy ones...to show you how ridiculous they really are. you won't be here for long...hell maybe i won't either.

 

i dont want to start with you on this so dont mind me.

 

Sure looks like it.

 

Ferrari Chat is usually, and pleasently free from such posing, and ******bagery. PLEASE, stop posting every thought that blurts into your head that usually starts with

1. "My dad"
2. "Which is better"

It is utterly classless.

 

This is coming from someone thats proclaims their occupation is student/AUTO BROKER.... if i was using an auto broker I sure as hell hoped he could give me a decent comparsion of two different cars.

 

Why is your father asking you for advice concerning two cars you know nothing about? Are you in the car Biz? Do you even have a drivers license? That makes no sense to me.
