There should be more Evora's than 911's out there

If you are actually able to test drive this car back to back against the 911, no way you choose the 911. The handling is impeccable. The brakes are incredibly strong and the interior is simple and classy. Also, no one cares when a 911 passes by as it's the 10th one they've seen that day. With an Evora, you see one every couple

of years and you don't need to be an enthusiast to know that this is one badass car. She's beautiful! These cars are semi-expensive to maintain though so if you can't afford the car, you probably can't afford to keep it running.
