GT and Supersport = lust

I'm in love with these cars and might just have to own one someday. I don't know too much yet, my education is just starting but so far I am convinced that I want to add one. Just a question of when I can and which one I will get.

Amazing... just saying.

No way!!!!!! 80's cars were, at times, over the top and bold. Lovely and stunning 'supercars' of their era. Look at the 80's Lambos with winglets and whatnot... everywhere. And those cool small tires! Then you have one of the best car designs, the Ferrari 308 (European version please). And then there is the Porsche Carrera with BIG whale tale...

The Bentley Supersport is definitely sex on wheels. I have yet to drive one but I test drove a 07 Bentley GT and my only grievance was that the car had too much body roll. A lot of power but felt too much like a boat

What was the suspension setting at? Agree at 'Comfort' it will roll if driven aggressively during turns yet go all the way to the far right stiff setting and things do indeed change for much, much less roll.

The Supersports is an entirely different car - from the track to the valving to the steering to the composition of the suspension. When I test drove the Supersports after driving the GT Speed, the difference was substantial - and I bought the Supersports - notwithstanding the significant price difference, the level of the Supersports handling and feel and..... was so profoundly above the GT Speed that there was no hesitation

Umm, for the record guys that red thing was my daily driver and track fun toy (until i got serious and raced the Formula 2000 open wheel with full aero pakage). The red toy is a highly modded '85 Euro 308 GTS with modded suspesnion, modded brakes, etc and yet weighs 250 lbs less than stock (total of 2900 wet with driver). Frankly, an SCCA-spec Miata does better on the track than the stock 308.
