I did a back to back with mine at the players this last weekend, running 511 Sat and DB01R on Sunday, with all identical gearing/electrics etc.

I wouldn't say there's much in it speed wise for an average driver like me, but the 511 is definitely a little "sharper" and more direct, the DB01R a little lazier. Both seem very strong! If I really wanted to push on I'd want the 511 though Ultimately!

If the DB01R came with hex head screws, proper outdrives and a shell though I'd say it's better value, but without those I'd find a cheap 511!

To sum up, Damien Whittle said at the end of the meeting that my car hadn't quite looked as good as usual Sunday (he hadn't realised I'd swapped), so a totally unaware and unbiased view back up my own thoughs too!
