WOW I did not know just how close they were. I park mine together and the 70 is so much smaller. I love my 70 but the 09 is so much more fun to drive. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I love them both for different reasons. The 70 is just raw and a brute but gets the job done.

The 09 is totally refined and a pleasure to drive. The nice thing of the 09 is you get all the cool of the 70 but you have a lifetime warranty and way more comfortable seats .
