I have to say I love both. Having driven both and they are completely different cars. I'd still have the supersports overall. I know I've only got the GT but for a few months I was considering selling the Vette and Range to buy a supersport or 599. I settled on the GT so I could keep my Vette as I've completely got it just how I want it.

Only thing that I didnt like on the 599 was that it actually felt heavier and more difficult to play with on the twisties. Far more understeer than the Bentley. I know sounds weird and that it should be the other way around but that was how I found them on driving them back to back.

I think it will come down to personal choice at the end of the day.
i had a 04 gt and had no intention of swapping up, anything i ever came accross the gt blew its doors off could get 135 out of it through a twistie that seriously fast cars will only go 120 through so was happy with it then bentley brought out the supersports and sat a white one 2 seat in the main window at pymms lane crewe had to have one waited 12 months and bought the factory salon/exhibition static show car ice white beluga and hotspur interior with 2 seats just how they should be, never drove it till i had paid for it and it came time to drive it home what a car nothin compares for me, i drive 1000hp drag cars and so most cars feel slow this still gets the pulse racing proper drivers car push it hard and it starts to squirrel about under yer arse like a good old powerfull rear drive car unlike the gt which will kill you when it decides to let go,

as you can see i am very passionate about bentleys, i have got a conti sc currently for sale on this site i love it to bits it looks such a big hardcase but the supersports has killed it, so its just become an ornament,...

Sounds like you've been spoiled LOL

I was very surprised how the SS handled must say if I could have afforded one with out selling the wee white beastie I would have in a minute.
