I did one of those supercar experience days yesterday (I've done a few before) at Goodwood.

One of the cars I was keen to try was the DB9 and as luck would have it, the cycle of DB9 and V8 Vantage went my way and I did my laps in the DB9.

First off, it's a lovely car and I can imagine owning and driving one as a daily driver would be very pleasant, but I was a little shocked by just how soft and rolly it was.

Now, I appreciate it's not a track car (And I'd driven a Gallardo a few minutes before, so I suspect my zero was distorted), but I reckon my nigh on 100K miles RX8 would be a lot less wallowy around there.

So, are they all like that or was the car I drove just a bit tired and worn out? I suspect it was at least 10 years old, although the plates were all obscured.

Thanks all.

I agree, I can certainly see it'd make a great trans-continental transport - Sadly, I'll never be able to afford one (or they'll be too old and knackered for me to take a chance on it!), so will never know biggrin
