2010 Bentley Supersports OR Gen V Viper

Get the supersport, I've spent a lot of seat time in one and absolutely loved it. If you buy it right and decide you don't like it after a few months you won't lose anything.

 

Or a Gallardo.

 

Anything in particular you loved about it? Thanks

Yes, it's like a Damn freight train! Personally I love the looks, you definitely spot them from a mile away even here in Dallas. They go 0-60 in 3.7 without a tune or exhaust which is still crazy quick. They are AWD which I like, especially where you live you can take that in the snow no problem, I drove one around Boston during some terrible weather and it handled like a champ. While not as comfortable as the standard CGT still comfortable. Also they took their depreciation already.

After driving the older generation Vipers (2006 convertible and a 2008 Hennessey 700 coupe) their is no way in hell I would own one. I am sure the new model that is currentely out is much better and from what I have been told they are night and day different than the older generations. BUT, the SS is a badass car. It is heavy but feels great and the fit and finish is gorgeous. Chicks love the SS as well - if that is a plus? For this price point have you considered a Gallardo?

Chipster...you know my preference already

I would also go with the SS. Love those. Its a super nice cruiser and definitely a bruiser when you need it to be. I am partial to GT type cars though.

Yeah they seem plenty quick. I also love the alcantara.

I think I will consider a Gallardo but only if it's manual. Maybe an 08 SL but I think that may be more than I want to spend. My gf likes the Bentley over the Viper but she could really care less probably haha. It's cool that I could bring either to a car meet and still enjoy it.

Haha, yeah. It's a hard choice because I like both. But it could be a while. Lots of tire kickers with the Diablo.

I've never really tried out a GT, so that's some of the appeal.

You erection killer! Lol

 

I'm sure I would feel a little disappointed on twisty roads compared to a Sportscar.

 

Had an SS Convertible for 1 year.

 

It's fast gorgeous and the seats are cut from a Veyron - people can say whatever they want car does everything.

 

Downside -ceramics are shaky yes I tracked the porker but slowly came to realize no matter what she's a fatty that rolls coupe is most likely much better.

 

Looking to change SVR Range Rover interested to see what you end up with - thinking FF SLR 599 F12

I really like the F12 but way out of my range lol.

Have you driven the Supersports?

 

Larger brakes than the Veyron - if you don't drag them in wet or cold the car won't stop.

 

Agree on the F12 and could use a backseat FF makes more sense all around.

I haven't. Only bentley I've driven was an 02 Arnage T. I'm not even going to bother until my car sells. BUT worst case, ToofDoc is only like 3-4 hours away if I don't end up seeing one closer at a dealer. I wonder too if I find a Speed model closer if that would give me a solid idea on a SS

I think any Bentley will give you a good idea - the SS is on steroids all around.

 

Never even sat in one - found one in Dallas flew down and drove it home 10 hours.

 

GLWS - the SS won't drop any further everyone drools over the looks and performance and if you get bored it's easy to unload.

Appreciate the feedback! I think I'm leaning that way at the moment.

Good news, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Pics to follow after purchase, of course

The rare blue one I liked was sold already. My truck is silver so I don't really want that unless I find one like toofs, but there are a couple other good ones available.

Oh well, do NOT rush with your decision.

It's like buying the house, either you love it at the first sight, or pass it along.

I see Porter has been here

When I was considering bentleys, I was set on the supersports. But I learned that a good way to get solid performance, spend less money, and maybe have access to another color combo that an SS might not offer (since there aren't a ton of them online compared to standard) is to get a normal W12 continental gt and do an ecu tune. You end up with almost identical hp and tq as a non-tuned SS.

 

If you want to buy my G I'll sell it to you...it's egear, but you know you'd be getting a mechanically perfect car...

Thanks David! One of the things I like most about the SS is the alcantara interior though. I did think about a plain old GT though just since they are much cheaper. I think I'd need to find a manual Gallardo to be interested. But who knows. I'll keep you in mind though!

All shades of blue work very nicely for normal Bentley conti but I am not sure how well it works with SS's blacked out grill details. Red SS looks awesome but they are rare.

Well the Bentley dealer near DC got a graphite supersports. Actually had the rear seats option. I really liked the car. So many damn buttons though lol. The parking brake was pretty cool. I had also thought I would notice a huge difference with the CCBs but since I didn't do any hard braking, they felt like normal brakes to me. The ride felt nice too. I need to check out a Gallardo too still
