    My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    I thought you'all might be interested in my 05 997S cab's new stablemate. A madness came over me when it was time to turn in my Lexus LS430 (a lease). I decided I wanted something a little more exciting so I test drove an Aston Martin DB9. Thought the performance was a little weak, but the dealer told me that the "sports package" would give me what I was looking for. So I scoured the internet until I found the right car and bought it (from Silicon Valley of all places). My cab didn't cry, but my wife almost did... The DB9 (with Sports Pack) is a completely different car, with its 6 liter V12 and low end torque. I dubbed her "the beast". Enjoy them both and now that Spring is here, will have a hard time choosing which one to drive.

    and alone...

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Oh, my god! That looks amazing! Well done to you on aquiring such a beauty! yes the sports pack makes one hell of a difference...(ill be honest im infering this from 2 db7s..one with sports and one without)...id drive the porsche by day and the aston by night...

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Killer Stable Mates! Congratulations and enjoy!

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Yeahhhh! You done guud!

    Uh oh..., I'm having a panic attack. WTF? how do you parallel park with that front grille? Dammit!

    I see the sensors, but would be nice if they automatically blew the horn when an [beep] backed in too closely while the car is parked.

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Real nice. Congrats.

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Nemo that is one killer looking ride. I wish I was that lucky. Sweet!

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Wonderful car, wonderful combo!

    DB9 is the most elegant of the three Astons, simply looks great from every angle!

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    SOOOOOO NICE!! Such a great looking car. At first I thought it was the Vantage.

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Nemo,

    The DB9 looks a little dirty. Toss the keys over here and I'll run her down to the car wash. Be back in about 400 miles!

    Sweet car.

    That car says: Bond, James Bond.

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    these alloys are a lot better than the std ones. Great combo too.

    rennteam is like a painting gallery, except you don't get bored after half an hour and you can eat while looking at these great pics

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    You're right amazon, the wheels are part of the sports pack and reduce the unsprung weight, like the Porsche ceramic brakes. I appreciate all the kind words, I had just completed a detailing including clay. Hard work but it shows. I've attached another shot just for fun. Taking the wife out in the DB9 for dinner tonight...trying to get her to like it just a little! Tomorrow is cab weather!

    Re: My 997S Cab's New Stable Mate

    Congrats! She is a beauty!

    What's the spec?

    Looks like tungsten exterior with sandstorm interior. Is it a stick shift or automatic?

    Re: What's the spec?

    Close...it's meteor gray with sandstone interior. Since it's a 2007, it has the updated seats (much nicer) and push button automatic with paddle shifters. The sports pack has a lower stance and tighter suspension (and nicer wheels). The problem with driving it around DC is that there are so few DB9s that it gathers a crowd while parked and people follow you while driving...to gawk.

    Re: What's the spec?

    DB9 is a great choice , classy , sporty and very impressive.
    Congrats !
