DB9 is a different class of car to the others, not really comparible. What price range are you looking at?

A nice dilemma to have.

The Aston is a GT, not comparable with the others. Nice car though.

F430 a tsunami of occasion and fun. Fragile, expensive to maintain, worth every penny just for the noise.

GT3RS Very focussed track car that can be driven hard on good roads. Very good residuals, bullet proof build quality. Will turn heads almost as much as the Fezza.

R8 quick, fun can be had on roads that are not perfect, less involving than the Fezza, less demanding than the Porker, but much more fun than the Aston.

If you want to do track days, it's the RS every time. For a weekend squirter its the Fezza. For something that can do those, almost as well, and can commute into the city it's the R8.

I think you need some time in each to be certain which suits you but they are all amazing cars.
