What are you holding your breathe on? It's a done deal. From what I've read, Aston will be getting a bespoke engine, and the dual-clutch is all but confirmed

the gearbox and the engine are the main I think. you might get a good deal on a near new vanquish since the my15 has a 8 speed zf with some nice downshift features as opposed to the old 6 speed

I think the truly most 'sporting' current model is the Vantage V12S, but that the Vanquish has more power, the excellent ZF 8 speed gearbox which you are very familiar with, and frankly looks better IMHO. It would be my choice for sure for everything except road track usage; (and there are much better 'track' cars than the Vantage S). Bish |

But I should research the Vantage 12S more though.

The MAC is a much bigger contrast. And it's faster. And we know that is better right?-LOL

Pretty clearly illustrates just how much faster the 12Cis than the GT3. The 650S is even faster and better handling, braking and quicker shifting. However, I'd still rather be in the GT3 on the track.

I am surprised no one wants a f12 Berlinetta, I love that car to bits, Its a proper thriller I saw one doing some laps on a nearby track recently and it was mesmerizing. 800k + price tag twice o what i could realistically afford... cant see it depreciating much in the future either since its going to be the last of the great v12s

For the same reason why I won't be getting a GT3, u shouldn't bother with a Speciale. However, u do get a little more by going special, but we are talking serious diminishing returns.

Agreed. This may sound nuts but frankly I am considering selling my MAC and just enjoying my GT3 for now. I just love the car. Can buy something else later. Wouldn't mind banking a bit of money either. :-)

GT3 for the win. Test drove one on Saturday. And though i didnt push it too much beyond its limit, the 9k redline is super sweeeeettt.. The way the car feels between 7k to 9k is incredible. It might be time to pull the trigger.

GT3-RS naked. Abused, but still a dime-piece

Getting close, the ship should dock in Houston today, so I am guessing I should have it next week!
