With the Vantage's steering so much more improved, and the 911's electric steering more diconnected than ever, some would say the Aston is actually the more involving car.

But don't let the facts get in the way of brand-loyalty...
Twice I've come close to buying an Aston (even had a deposit down in '06) and twice I've ended up with 911s... I know it's not super fast, I know it's getting old, but damn do I love that V8 Vantage! I'm certain I'll have one some day.

Thanks for the note, @GreenLantern. It's a typo, for which I apologise. You're quite right, it's 346lb ft - and, believe me, it feels like it on the road! Torque is not this car's strongest suit.

Still, it means you simply have to rev it harder. Which is no hardship...

Absolutely mindblowing...That's gorgeous! I love the rear and the headlights (i'm a light person)
Great photos as well!
