went shopping.....

the day started out just messing around some new dealers in town, checking out the new DBS in person which is great but wasnt that impressive.
It looks nice, but no Vanquish....

But then i made a big mistake by dropping by Bentley to see the new SS, and oh my fxxking whatever!!! da sh!t is nice!!! The ice white example makes the GT and speeds look like a$$, the Veyron seats and super luxurious interior makes getting back to my OTO-ed 612 unbearable.
i didnt start out the day looking for a replacement for my 612, i just wanted to see if i would like another car, namely the DBS or maybe the supersports, but now im screwed. I just cant get the red-grey-suede-carbon-stainless steel interior of the bentley, the black wheels, the carbon rear bar, the.........
im screwed, or namely, my 612 is screwed, somebody talk me out of it.
then back to the DBS, it suddenly looks mediocre when u seen the SS, especially the throttle release pop at 4k and the drum roll idle of the bentley V12 makes me think this thing might finally beat the 599 in a straight line!
im screwed..........

oh and i can report straight line speeds between the 612 and Cali are the same, ......... we're not gentleman racers, maybe we dont deserve a english uptight sportscar, but the SS is so RAW!!!! oh well....... im screwed.....

The SS is awesome, no doubt about it. I think it'd be a tough call between that or the DBS but I know I'd probably rather have the DBS in my garage.

Either way, sounds like a great way to spend the day. Let us know what you get next!

I would take the SS over the 612 but i would also take the DBS over the SS anyday
