Thinking of trading in my '08 Bentley Continental Flying Spur for a Rolls Royce Ghost...
Bentley: 552 hp, AWD, 195mph
Rolls: Pure Luxury and a driver's car...

Prefer the rolls myself. Just the body lines are enough to make the change imo. But also remember that this advice is coming from someone who drives a scion:)
Have you thought about a Ford Focus? Nasty car, 0-60 in like 8 secs.

I drive a '93 Mazda Protege. It's a beautiful golden brown color. :D

Check out the inventory at driving emotions.com in FL. Some pretty crazy and rare cars, seems to be up your alley.

Personally, there's a number of other vehicles I'd have in similar price ranges, but I'd want them for a combination of luxury and performance, not just luxury. Neither of those vehicles are really a car for anything other than luxury. They aren't exactly cars designed for performance driving regardless of the large bi-turbo engines in them, mainly just pure luxury.
If I had to go Bentley or Rolls, I'd probably look at the Continental GT instead.

The Bentley is probably worth more than what I paid for my 2,200 sq ft house, and it has a full basement... but not 552for hp and 195... That is one smooth car!

Nice car, I guess I like most people have never driven any of those cars but I like Bently more than the RR. I think RR is a car when you have a driver and Bently if you are doing the driving.

I have a better idea...why don't you trade me your Bentley even up for my '94 Chevy pickup? It's only got 115,000 miles and comes with standard Minnesota rust (no extra charge).

I went the other way...traded in the Drophead for the Mulsanne.

Nice car... Can't go wrong with either. Personally I'd prefer something less rolling sofa-like. So I'd keep the Bentley.

Beautiful car!!!
May I also suggest the Continental GT SS, murdered out...

And of course the twin-turbo Gallardo. I think Aventadors are starting to show up in stock in your area.
My favorite saying is "why can't it be both?" ;-)
