EXCELLENT!!! - as it should be; the natural order of things is maintained!

The vantage is beautiful ... but a bit podgy ... sounds great though!

definitely worth the last gallon ... thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing, that is a nice watch.

Was that in a Top Gear Episode? I thought as a Top Gear fan I have watched every episode, but I didn't remember they tested the Aston V12 Vantage vs 997.2 GT3?

It's not from the television series, it's from their latest DVD release.

in Jezza's "Italian Job" DVD he actually drives a GT3.2 and "quite" likes it ... but he cant just bring himself to really sincerely praise it ...

at least Hamster and Evo's Chris Harris rate it ...

Considering his stance on Porsche in th past Larry, to say anything positive would have been completely against everything he stands for... He had plenty of nice things to say about the GT3 in that show he seemed to genuinely LIKE the car in his Jezza kinda way... I think he rates it highly, coz he'd have his head in the sand not to....

totally agree, its a great show ... and in his own way he does "sort of" praise the GT3.2 ...

quite honestly I think he gives Porsche an undeserved hard time, and he gives Ferarri a bit of a blank check ... oh well ... its all part of the Jezza mystique!

yeah, but hammond loves porsches.........so it could well be just a manufactured argument they've been having for x years to keep people interested and add fuel to the fire of both camps taking sides when they're watching.
