I may have to sell my lethargic Evora and pick up a DB11 then.

Try out an Evora 400 sometime. It might change your mind.

It was an Evora 400. Didn't know there were any others as the dealer only had two 400s. Silver in automatic and yellow in manual. I drove the automatic.

How was it? Just slow?
I had a lotus a few years back - 2010 Lotus exige S260 Sport. Most unreliable sports car I ever owned but damn the resale was amazing. I actually MADE money selling it.

Just picked up a 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L yesterday. I figure this helps "neutralize" my carbon footprint considering my 997 has a catless x-pipe.

I had 3 transmissions and an engine replaced under warranty my 2006 Elise. The car was heavily tracked although the last transmission that failed went out after the car was relegated to surf board toter/beach car and had never been on the track with that transmission.

RE: Evora 400

I don't know. I just did not like it. It definitely did not feel quick, but I am used to very quick cars.

The biggest issue was the steering and the absolutely awesome go kart feel of the Elise/Exige cars. The Evora 400 felt big, heavy and not extremely responsive or nimble although I had my screaming a just a bit when I kicked the tail out and drifted it a bit around two exit ramps.

Hope to join your merry group down the road
My other car is a Fleet car... 2016 Chevy Equinox. I put about 25k miles per year on this bad boy for work. for 6 years i put up with Fleet car as the only car... but then the boredom took over! Now there's a 997.2 C2S in the garage!! And yes, we have turkeys in CT, and they like to sit on my roof. I call the garage the Turkey protector.
