The interesting thing i find, is that MT(I Think) ran the 420Bhp Vantage at 0-60 in 4.1s and 1/4 at 12.5@115Mph, Yet, they run the Same time for a V12 Vantage?..

I looked at the Car and Driver test sheet for this beautiful car and added the 0-150 mph time of 26.0 seconds. Here is the link: http://media.caranddriver.com/files/2009-aston-martin-v8-vantage2009-aston-martin-v8-vantage-short-take.pdf

I actually love this car but then 420 horses from a 4.7 V8 is kinda.... tamed? I think it needs a supercharger, but then it lost its.... elegance? at least makes it 100 hp/L, i think its the problem of all aston in fact, under-powered.

Aston should develop or get some PDK or M-DCT like double clutch gear box!

I think we must add the word "new" or something to seperate it from the 2005 Vantage. Both cars have the same name on the list and I can't find the old model in "Other cars..".
