Aston Martin DB7 Vantage

First of all this is one SWEET car.....however, it could not hang with the GN.
Not much of a story.....started from a dead stop. The DB7 took off very well took the lead by about a car. (I'm still having lag problems) Once my boost came on I caught and passed him. I could keep 2 cars between us until 100 mph, after that I could not keep up.....but hey the 1/4 mile would have been over right ......

I drove the car, it is amazing to drive......if anyone has 150k just laying around you should get one

x2

I can't even leave my 20-year-old Buick anywhere without someone beating on it until the engine blows itself apart.

But, I guess if I had $150k to blow on a car I'd be able to financially demolish the fool that beat on my car while it was in for service. Or, I may not be smart enough to know about it.

Seen a DB7 yesterday in NY. Probably the sweetest car I have ever seen in person. It looked like Bond's car.
