I think I we need a better defender in a challenge I just got from a guy in N.Y..

He has an 08 Austin Martin roadster like the one seen in the Jame's bond movies with a stock 380 V8 and standard tranny.

He is a 27yo that works on Wall Street so he has bucks and a bit cocky. Says it does 0-60 in 5 seconds or less.

I am not sure I would be nervous racing him and it.

17289


I think I would have a good chance with the few add on's I have.

I think he is a little nut's thinking about racing it though seeing it is over $100,000 dollar to buy the car in the first place.

I just remembered the V12 version of it on Top Gear and it made me think twice you know what I mean?

an austin martin?



and IIRC aston martins come with V12's


It'd help to know what model it is, "roadster" doesnt narrow anything down...

also, LOL @ thinking your 4dr land tank is going to outrun a 2dr V12 exotic

It is the Aston Martin Vantage roadster V8 like I posted the link info on from Edmonds. Not the Jame's Bond v12 Car.

But I can't convince him to go to a track he want's to find some straight leval secluded road that we can make quarter mile marks on with cones or something.
I told him sorry but my License is not worth losing nor anything else. I said besides don't you want a bunch of people to see your fancy sports car beat an Amercian Muscle car.
Needless to say he said forget it seeing he could not have it done his way.

But thanks anyways for being willing to help out Doom and Motorhead350.
Would have been nice to have a couple of us there to take him on.

He's 420 at the crank, I have all the "bling" I need, no need to draw any futher attention. And then there's the question if the car will even start when you get in it, kinda like a Jag. :flamer:

Oh yeah, my power's measured at the wheels. :burnout:

That is with a professional driver. Is he a professaional driver?? I doubt it. I seen a stock 5.0 mustang whip up a supercharged 347 mustang because the s/c'd car had a driver that couldn't drive a bicycle and shouldn't have been behind the wheel of the car to begin with. the stock 5.0 had slicks and gears and he was extremly good. (professional comes to mind)
