Sorry but its just a *little* bit more than just that (few pounds lower weight, carbon brakes, and a body kit)

Try both on a track

But it's not a track car either. See that's the thing about most Americans. We will not be tacking these cars. So the performance and feel on a spirited drive through mountain roads is the most that these cars are going to do so it all boils down to that. And please don't get me wrong I am a huge Aston backer I mean I bleed green but if I am looking for a track car a DBS isn't coming up on the list. Maybe the N24/400 but the list of other more capable cars is very long. That being said if I was in a position to buy a 275k to 300k car the DBS would probably be the leading choice.


And not that this is the line set in the sand or that they are the RULE so to speak but the Top Gear test of the DBS said all the same. It's not a track car it's a GT and a very good one. BUT so is the DB9...

I just watched the Top Gear episode with the DBS again and while it sounds like Clarkson and myself agree on the car, which never happens because he has a hard on for Ferrari's and hates Porsche, but the biggest thing I do not understand his why and the hell did AM think it would be a good idea to give the DBS 10 LESS horsepower than the Vanquish S????????????? That's just ass backwards thinking.
