Aston Martin DB7 versus IS-F
I was given the key to my buddy's 2001 Aston Martin Vantage Volante for a couple of days while I was in Florida on business. As the car is not driven enough, I was more than willing to run it for hours up and down 95.
The car is gorgeous. A low rider with a 6.0 liter, 420 horsepower, V12 engine. The short of it: it is always an experience to drive a classic, especially one with only 25,000 miles. By way of comparison, the F is a superior car is almost every regard: handling, speed, responsiveness, sound, creature comforts, and most importantly fun appeal.
Still, the Aston is a beautiful piece of design work. It's just not the beastly F.

Problem with that car is it was basically built on the same chassis and platform for the last 20 years so it was like driving a 1980's car when it was new.
Not to mention it makes a Murcielago feel spacious.
I'm not hating - very cool car and cool experience but you couldn't pay me to own one!
