A few guys up here have 6GT3's and they have no issues keeping with the .1 GT3's. Did just watch the video for the McLaren P1 with Chris Harris. Made me lust after it... Not typically a McLaren fan but that car is nuts...

That's not bad. I wonder if this is an official number and if it's with fluids or dry weight...?

It sure looks good!

Can remember the time when 3300 was bad, now people think 3500 lb is not bad.

Correct.


Hard to find new cars below 3300lbs...


Unless of course they have a carbon fiber tub and cost a million...

Love it!

I actually know exactly where they've shot that video being in NYC.
I've never looked into Aston Martin and wonder how their dealership network is...I know of an Aston Martin dealer in Long Island.
Anyway...the car is a beauty. You might feel guilty trashing that thing on a track. I also wonder if it will take the abuse...

I have to be honest, I like this car a lot. Very good marketing on their behalf, and they know they can scoop up some of the GT3 crowd that got sucker punched by Porsche with the 991 GT3. Plus with the big push in American racing, they need a car to help bolster the image on the street.

Exactly, but for the guys wanting a manual who go for an occasional track day its not that far off a loaded Cayman, M4, Corvette and its an Aston, the sexiest car ever made.

Id have it over any 911 in a heartbeat if I would not track much, or very fast.

But I do need to look into warranty, no such info on the website..

Peter,I've called them up.
No allocations available at the moment. They don't know when it will be available. 2015 most likely. They'll get back to me on that.
35K NON REFUNDABLE deposit required. I'll say it again : NON REFUNDABLE!
4-5 months waiting time.
