Bay Area GT3

Trying to decide between an Aston Martin Vantage and a 7 GT3. I know this is probably a pretty tall order but does anyone in the Bay Area wanna take me for a test ride or drive in a 997 3? PM me if you can help me out. Thanks!

easy solution, just go to the Santana Row meets

I'm sure Jeff will let you drive his Vantage

Sorry, the post has been fixed. I actually got some really good seat time in an 07 Vantage. Just looking to see how the GT3 compares.

i'm english so I obviously love Aston's but to be honest that's a cruiser vs a driver's car. And what a driver's car... If you want involvement, edgyness, fun on the street/track then GT3 all the way. If you want a heavy, slower albeit better looking car then Aston

Thanks Shark, but i think i really need to be in both to decide. Trying to find my Goldilocks as some would say.

yah, totally different cars. Depends what you want to use it for. If you're going to drive to work every day, I'd take the Aston. If it's not your daily, and you're going to take it out on sundays, the 3 all the way.

I am just kidding...

get your rides in... you will see...

vantage is the new girl in school that all the guys want... its shine, like the new girl's, will wear off.

Now vantage vs. C2S... a whole different question... in my opinion...

Interesting analogy. I see the Vantage more as the new sophisticated, yet extremely sexy teacher. A timeless woman that will be just as beautiful and desirable 10 years from now.

All these posts and not one offer, even for just a ride along. I knew this was going to be a tall order.

But...the sex appeal... the noise... the soul...there is something truly special about owning an Aston...

Alex, you're a dealer, you must have an auction license, find me a great deal on a 7 GT3 and i'll do it! Please, please, please...
