Gotta love Clarkson and Crew.

I was surprised to learn that the Aston V8 Vantage beat a 997S with PCCB at the Nurburgring in Top Gear mag this month. Until they wrote (paraphrased), "in order to even out the fact that the Porsche had PCCBs, we put racing tires on the Aston"...

Quote from today's Top Gear:
"By a majority verdict of 2 to 1 , here's your winner: The Porsche 911"
Do I need to say any more?

For those who didn't see it, that was after a comparison test against the clock by the Stig on a closed road, the other cars being the BMW M6 and Aston Martin DB9.

To those that are a bit slow in thinking listen to RC, here is a man with knowledge and experience. Now for those who knock Porsches, you are entitled to your opinion and every right to be wrong. You don't like Porsches so be it. Porsche has been, is and will always be one true sports car, period. British will be partial towards their cars forever. Jags were nothing but a pieces of junk forever until Ford bought them out and even now they are nothing to write home about, but I always liked them and many people do. I would never wish to own a Jag but I like them. Triumph, Jensen, Autin, MG, Lotus were cars that we al liked a model ot two of them but where are they today.
Now AM is a different league all together but None of the 3 AM's DB7, DB9 and Vanquish that I have driven have that sports call feeling like a Porsche. I am crazy about Ferraris and Porsche's and have and will always have the most respect for them. Afterall the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Did you all marry a gorgeous woman, you might think you did but others might not agree. Do you care? No, not if you are happy

why do i get the feeling that nberry was the kid on the playground who always bragged about how he had the biggest lollipop that got the most attention & if another kid showed up with a slightly smaller & cheaper lollipop that tasted just as good or better than his...he would run up and smack it out of that kids hands & proceed to say "na na na na na na"
honestly, I've read his comments on this board for a long time, and i've chosen to not say anything in response, well not any more.
nberry...you have a ferrari, good for you, we all know it & you make sure we know with every post you make. There are quite a few other ferrari (& other "premium") car owners here that have quite a nice collection of cars that aren't porsches (STRADALE, 69bossnine, Mike S come to mind the soonest) These guys all have cars that many of us would love to have & none of them have the attitude that you have. They seem like friendly, approachable people. They seem like the ones who if you saw them on the street, you couldn't be able to tell that they are successful. You (nberry) strike me as the person who flaunts his success & the type of person who yells @ the girl @ starbucks because there isn't enough whipped cream on your double expresso-mocha whatever drink. RC would be doing this forum a real favor by restricting your posts to the Ferrari & Sports car sections only. Then the rest of us with open minds wouldn't have to deal with you as much.
& thats the end of my rant

Why dignify with a response people? I like Ferraris but am starting to think that nberry must have a lemon 430 cuz he's too busy trying to hijack P threads with his negative agenda. Nberry the only passion, excitability and sensory overload you have is how it makes you feel to be condescending to others. Next time I see a 430 at the red light, with the driver cranking his head every which way to see who is looking at him, I'll know it's you. Vanity buffoon

Aw, give nberry a break. If we all thought exactly alike the world would be so boring (and possibly, also sobering) :-).
Besides, he's an equal-opportunity offender, on ferrarichat, rennlist, 6speed...so at least he's consistent.
