I dont think he was there to drive.

 

Who cares all you need is your foot on the gas...the paddles do the rest..

 

Holy mother of all posts, am I jealous. My config is locked down and I still haven't seen one in the flesh much less drive one. My dealer best get me behind the wheel pronto! Thanks for sharing.

 

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are taking an opportunity to bash the Aston or sing the praises of the MP12? Frankly, I have had a number of those other cars and I was tired of seeing a million of them on the road. The V12V is a limited run car that is still engineered around a manual 6-speed. Try getting new a manual Ferrari or Lambo. Then again, there are the thousands of used ones. My point was simple, the MP12 possibly more that any other 500HP+ car, is the easiest to drive fast immediately. I drove the car in the rain on back roads and felt at ease without needing to get used to it's tendencies.

 

My point about the aston is that i felt.everything including the 6 speed manual sucked. The car is still extremely for a v12 and boring to.drive. This feeling is.no.doubt shared by others as these cars sit.unsold. I wont even mention the depreciation these will suffer.

 

Meant to say.extremely slow

 

Any chance of getting back into the SLR allan?

 

how do they differ?
i think they are factory demo cars, surely it is already too late in the day for prototypes, cars are being delivered to customers...

 

I hope you're not serious about depreciation arguments with the gallardo as a point of reference. My 08 G was new in showroom and I paid 25K under sticker. By the way, do you need a refresher on punctuation?

 

Great write up and while I have only seen it in pictures I agree fully that color to color totally changes the car. Some make me love it and others leave a bland impression.
