They look awesome and sound great but not that fast in person. A nearly stock LS1 Fbody will run with them.

It's the V8 Vantage. You can tell by the marker lights on the rear bumper.

I'd rather have the DBS myself.

personally, Astons are one of my favorite cars. they all do look veryyyyyy similar, but its oks cuz they are so sexy. and who cares if a nearly stock ls1 can run em down, you dont buy a car like that for its speed alone.

i know a guy that has a DB9 (gorgeous) and when he wants to go real fast he takes his 69 camaro over to the track and runs 9s.

you buy those kinda cars for the whole package with your heart and a fat wad of cash. i hate the "you have a Ferrari but my v8 will smoke your measly 480hp" argument. theres just something about riding in those kinds of cars that i loooove, i cant even imagine owning one.

Pagani
Bugatti used to be there

Enzo Ferrari's hometown, so the location of their Fiorano test track.

Living here in north Dallas, I get to see all kinds of exotics as well. I've seen just about everything except Pagani's, Bugatti's, Koenigsegg's and the like. Not to say there aren't any around, I just haven't seen them personally. I have seen a McLaren F1, Ferrari's including a few Enzo's, Saleen S7, Aston Martin's, Lamborghini's, Noble's etc. etc. All I can do is watch and drool.

Have only ever seen one Zonda it was silver. Seen 3 bugatti's (actually out on the streets), seen one Keonigsegg my favorite exotic, ferarri's = everyday occurance, Lambo = everyday occurance, Jag's = everyday, Ford GT's = at least 2-3/mo; seen 2 nobles, one McLaren, one Spyker, 2 R8's running around my work recently, Mercedes (the batmobile looking one), 2-3 Porsche Carrerra GT's, GT3's, GT2's, **** i can't even remember anymore.

I have never actually seen a S7 out on the road.

They are all attracted to Santa Monica for some reason.
