Default I Need More Mods!

I just got out of a race with an Austin Martin something.

I was at a stop light and this guy comes up next to me with this totally awesome Austin Martin. I look at my brother and tell him this is one SWEET car. Well the light turns green and I go normal and he takes off. So, of course, I am like sweet...lets go! I nail it with him about 1 car length ahead of me, and he stops pulling on me REAL fast. I then shift to second and I start slowly gaining ground back on him. We ended up with him about 1/2 carlengths ahead of me. We backed off at 70 and we both gave each other the thumbs up.

Real nice car and sounded incredible! I have no idea what kind of Austin Martin it was. It looked real new and said what I thought looked like v90 on the back, but I can't find seem to find it. Looking at the Austin Martin website it looks almost identical to the DB9?

Maybe someone can help me identify what it was.

I did, and I am thinking it might have been a V8 Vantage. Not 100% sure though.

The Astons certainly are BEAUTIFUL cars. The DB9 runs high 12's @ 110-112 and the Vanquish runs about the same. The V8 Vantage runs low 13's @ 106ish. Sounds about right that you kept up with your mods. You might even continue to pull a bit if the race had kept going.
