I have no idea what my true hp is, all I know my 0-60 is in the mid to low 3's and that I dusted a bunch of guys on 900 & 1100 rice rockets with pipes, this stage IV thing is nuts!!

The DB9 is stunning. Faster slower, whatever. It all comes down to "whoa".

I'm sure the american orders are coming in thick and fast...

BUT I cant really picture an American driving a DB9... or even a Conti GT for that matter. It just doesnt match up, it's still uniquely British. Then again in order to turn a profit Astin *cough*FORD*cough* need the green of the free and brave.

Bring back the 4.3 V8 Vantage...!

That db9 ran a 13.0 at only 101mph, that's weak!! The car is hot though.

I love that review. The 911 is the best road car but for a sense of OCCASION, the lambo and Aston are unmatched. I guess I don't get it. We are talking about cars, right? and not the dinner centerpiece or my wife's anniversary ring, right? It is funny how we at this site will belly ache about overpriced warrantied hp from the factory (x-50 vs mods) but it's OK to spend a fortune on a car that looks good but can't keep pace on the road, or even feel the road that well for that matter. OK here comes my big imitation of teenagers to show that I am young and don't understand. "...whatever..."
