i was on i-4 today omw to work when i get behind this VERY nice looking sports car. i didnt recognize the badge, it looked like a bentley logo without the B in the middle. the only other badge was on the right side of the rear end that said "V8 9" or "GT 9" i cant quite remember, all i know is that once traffic cleared up that thing picked up and hauled ass. it had a crossfire look to it but it didnt have the chrysler logo. does this sound familiar to anyone?

 

I've seen a few of those. No idea what it is, but man, they're cool looking!

 

It was me.

 

damn that subaru looks hotter in person then

 

You're damn right it does.

 

That's an easy one - Aston Martin

Logo
Bentley Logo

DB9


I like the v-12 vanquish my self...

 

Nice! I wouldntve guessed that...

...of course, I've seen one in sarasota and knew what it was when I saw it; its much harder to describe something than show a pic

I think theres a GT V8 or something, a more kickass factory version?
