that sounds like a fair assessment... Posted by James [Email] (more from James) on Sat, 23 Jul 2011 04:57:09

the c900 is a lot of fun to drive... that doesn't mean the dynamics are perfect (though they are good for the age)... it would not surprise me if the 9000 has less body roll + would do better through turns than a c900... eg I think our 9-5 can take a cloverleaf ramp faster... but the c900 feels faster + so it's way more fun in the corners than the 9-5...

for the original poster, I think it depends more what he's going for + given that he has a ng900, the bigger touring car might be a better complement to what he has... a c900 might highlight the minor deficiencies in the ng900 suspension (or not depending what upgrades he's done) where it's a similar sort of car (I certainly noticed that test driving OG9-3's back to back with our c900s)... I think the 9000 is a great choice...

I mean none of my comments as "this car is better"... a lot of this is personal taste in the differences... as Street said, 900 and 9000 weren't meant to compete, they were meant to complement + function in different market segments... both really great cars!
