Hi everybody. I had the rare pleasure yesterday of driving the Aston Martin DB9 head to head with the 997. If enough of you are interested, I'll post a full review of the drive and give my impressions on how these two cars stack up. For now, here's some photos:

This is great Osna, I remember doing a poll at the other forum on these two cars - Personally, I'd take the Porsche with no hesitation

Two very beautiful cars indeed. I'd have to go with Aston due to it being a more beautiful car to me. Love the 911 too, but the Aston is "bespoke".

Hmm, both perform well, both look great, but I'll take the Porsche. I want a car that's reliable and fast, I've heard Astons aren't too reliable.
