Drove a V8 Vantage the other day, very nice car, not that fast tho :D

I guess that's the thing with having a 300+ awkw GT-R - everything else seems slow :P

Couldn't justify the $$$ for the DBS... If you want a Brittish sports car, you'd turn just as many heads with an Ariel Atom, a Morgan Aero 8, a Lotus Exige S, etc. for many less dollars. In fact, you could have all three for many less dollars!!!

Having said that the DBS is pretty sexy...

one drives past me ona regular baisis when i leave work got some special plate on it... car looks hot though

A DBS drives past you? Or a DB7/DB9/Vantage/Vanquish? Coz I didn't think they'd started Australian deliveries of the DBS yet...

These cars are all my style.

DB9R - The daily

CCR - Event car, very sleek and sexy

Zonda - Event car, when you want to stand out

FXX - Track/Road terror

Seven - Track

But if I had to choose only one of them, FXX would be it 100%. I am willing to sacrifice comfort and roll down windows for pure performance.

yes the aston interiors....i rekon the best interiors known to man...look at that clock for example...its like something TAG would make...the attention to detail is amazing...it might not be quick pound for pound but its still a hot car, and also has anyone heard the sound the Aston v8 makes? unbelivable....

mclaren f1 > all.

sub 100k

well...

400r with a few choice light mods would keep me happy and loyal for the rest of my life....

come on.... those things are the shiet.....

>100k and <1m = dbr9 > many italians > 2 germans > 1 brit

>1m = english > dutch

    • Prime parking, she is a little girl...LOL
    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
