Default 05 CTS-V vs. new Aston Martin coupe!!

Just comeing home yesterday and stopped at a light... I see some sexxy *** lights pull up to the right of me but the guy wouldnt even look over! Light turns green and I start to baby it out, but this guy was sleeping at the light because he was about 5 cars behind me when all of a sudden I see the lights start to get closer much more rapidly. I dropped her into 3rd gear at about 45-50mph as he was passing me and automaticaly stopped his pull and put about 1 to 2 cars in front of him before I started to pace his speed again to see if he would play some more! Needless to say my fun was over because I had to turn left and he went straight at the next light! I have NO IDEA WHAT YEAR but this thing looked sooooo sexxy! And I fealt like a giant next to it because it was so low to the ground....



P.s. "Pappies cadi" surprised the **** out of that "***"ton martin

Technically it's in Kennedale, but that's basically Arlington. And if you're down for a drive there's Temple Academy Dragway, about 20-30 minutes south of Waco. I've been there a few times, and you can usually get 5-10 runs in on a test and tune night.

Me and a buddy talked his dad into a brand new DBS a few months ago. Very Sexy, drives like a dream, corners like Formula 1. paddle shifters are bad ***. its just not as fast as i thought it would be. 510 hp but like 4 or 5 thousand pounds if i remember right. Yall dont be afraid to run em. all that $300,000 plus t.t.l. doesnt go strait to makin em fast. Aston Martins are hand made. Everything, body panels were hand hammered, now the carbon fiber and fiberglass done by hand, 50+ hours in hand paint, 200+ hours in assembly by hand.

Very sexy very expensive very fast but not Top Fuel by any means.

Thats no lie! I new the stats on the car are very close to mine so I thought that he would play more! I was also surprised that I pulled him so easy! It may have been that he was out of his power-ban!

well if it was a Vanquish, DBS, or a DB9 then it woulda had a 500+ hp v12. If it was a Vantage, the cheaper model, it was a 380 hp v8. you can get one used low milage for like $80k. all the luxury, handling, prestige, and quality without the power and speed. in other words, its a f**king turd

All 2009 DBS were spoken for before the ever hit US soil but one was waiting to get delivered so i sat in it. Ever walked into a room with a mop just to clean up your own *** trails?
