The new Aston Martin V8 Vantage is one bad ass ride....had to share it.

"Performance should be impressive. It promises a top speed of 175 mph and 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, and Bez promises that where the DB9 is a Grand Tourer and the Vanquish a supercar, the V8 Vantage is a sports car in the finest sense. "
They believe it is...
More to the point MMD, that thing is a F.O.R.D.! :supp:
Sweet looking car, but I will still take my Z06.
My neighbor is a New Aston Martin Dealer Mechanic.
Ford sent him and his family to the UK for tech school.
Kids, wife, everyone except the cat.
Ford is as serious as a heart attack to take market share he says.
Real nice, even have some features from the Bond car, which he says new buyers are looking for.
The Bond Aston Martin, if I remember correctly, had a lot of industry firsts, features and devices that are almost standard on cars now.

(4.9 ) 0-60 big deal. Hell, my 10 year old 911 does 0-60 (5.4) with top speed of 167 and it's way OLD

draggin out from a stoplight..........4.9 vs 5.4 means you just got spanked. .5 secs is about 2-3 car lengths that will continue to grow as you run into the triple digits. Now, that's not to say that Porsche's aren't awesome because they are and I've always been a big fan. My buddy just got a new GT3 that he runs only on the track and canyon roads and has a '04 Turbo-S. Both are sweet cars and I'd love to have either of them.... but the Vantage definitely adds a new variable to the equation when looking at $100K sports cars. I'd look hard at the Aston simply becuase you won't see one around every corner like you do with a Porsche.
No Aston kool-aid here, just thought it was a sweet car.
So long as it has the passenger ejector seat and rear machine guns it worth all the money.
