The Vantage RS really is as close to sex on wheels as you can get.

I would honestly go with DBS. I personally think it looks much better. I don't know much about the V12 Vantage, but I'm just not a fan of the vantage period. I don't think it looks as good as the DB series and is too small in my opinion. I'm actually considering to get one but need to make space for it first. That and an R8.

Hi AMG Black,
I understand where you're coming from. I too thought the same about the Vantage, but I want to use this car as more of a daily. It's easy to park and visibility is reasonably good as well. Plus the front lights on the Vantage look 10x better than the DB series.

That's true and makes sense. And I agree about the headlights, the LEDs make it look much better, especially at night.

Btw mike, you have a very impressive collection. How much did you get that '67 GT500 for?

Not to mention the V12 Vantage RS is about $100K cheaper in SA, right Mike?

Hi A_B, the car was around $240k US. We have steep taxes here, for example a SL65 AMG will set you back around $260k US here.
