My morning commute race

You guys have to see what I raced this morning. I kinda kept up with it too...lol. I'm kidding of course, it ripped me to shreds like it didn't even know I was there. I still had to see what this thing could do.

I saw the spoiler raise up after we got to about 90, it was so fucking sweet. It took off like a bat out of hell.

I've never hosted a picture before so I hope you can see it...

MOD EDIT: Pic was not showing correctly so I converted to a link. - CG

Nice! I saw one of those over a year ago and was snapping pictures of it the whole time. The guy was laughing his ass off watching me try to keep up with the camera.

And now that I think about it, I've seen at least two more in the DC metro area. One parked in China Town the night of a Wizards game and one driving through the Tyson's Corner area.

I was going to say that just wasn't sure it had a retractable spolier.

So am I the only one who really doesn't like that car?

For that money I can think of so many other cars I'd rather have. A 5000lbs grand tourer just doesn't do it for me

I think it's a decent looking car, but I agree that there are a lot of other cars to be had for the money. But again, it's their money so who are we to judge.

I wasn't judging. Just giving an opinion. :troutslap

So how did it feel in the belly of a Bently? I'm surprised you were close enough to see the spoiler come up. Was that pic before or after he spit you out?

That pic was after he chewed me up. We were going about 75 when we started really going, he flew out in front of me and the spoiler went up went he hit around 90. We were going fast when we started so I was close when the spoiler went up. We didn't go crazy fast for all those worriers out there, I didn't go over 105 and it was a wide open highway.

The car is absolutey stunning in person, especially watching that spoiler go up. I actually think its a great car if you want a power car without the power feel. Obviously your paying for the name a bit. You could gey a benz or bimmer for less money, but those a mass produced cars that just don't give you that Bently or Rolls feel

Ok which of these three cars would you prefer:

Option 2

Option 3


I'd take #3 myself.

I was never really a fan of the 575's plain jane styling so option 2 and the Gallardo it is.

Of those choices, if money is no object, I'd take Option 5, of course. However, if we're talking closer to the Continental GTs price range, I'd take Option 2.

Domn thought #3 was too plain so I had to give him something a little more exotic for #5.

I think #3 is timeless and will look even better as years go by. For $5k more than a Bentley, it's a no brainer. #4 would be a crazy ride and the exact opposite of #1 but comparable money.

I think the best part of it is the RSX-R/Accord Euro R's 220HP 2L.

...and it's available with a supercharger to take it to 300hp.

That's what Top Gear reviewed it with.
