jhcain posted:Really? My automatic wagon is the heaviest of the bunch, and a 4 second blast to 60 feels pretty fast to me. I've found that any modern car, with the windows up and AC on, just doesn't feel that fast until you look down and see just how fast you're going. My old Dodge feels and sounds fast, but most certainly would get dusted by the Wagon. I think. I guess I've never tried them head to head... Hmm. To be fair new cars have so much sound insulation and most ride so smooth that even 100 mph doesn't feel fast. poo poo even in the old M5 or 928 cruising at 100 is comfortable, quiet and something you could do all day. Do that in something older or less of a luxury car and 100 can be a rush. I really should do a 928 to M5 head to head...

88h88 posted:My parents had one of these when I was a real small kid. Fiat Strada. I used to have this Mk1 Polo, with a screaming 60 hp 1.1 liter engine:  Super fun to beat on, surprisingly fast and those big rear end Hella lights were amazing during the winter. It got stolen and ruined and the insurance company wouldn't repair it so they sent it to the wrecker. RIP.

My old commute took me through San Francisco, where I'd occasionally see a DB9 with a ridiculous chrome wrap - never got stuck alongside it long enough to get a picture, sadly.

Artemis J Brassnuts posted:I'm in the states, so any AM is rare. I'm lucky enough to live near a dealer, so I do get to see the occasional DB9/DBS. The one time I went into the showroom to gawk, the guy there kept trying to sell me a Jag. http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=A...ston+martin+db7 Plus one on autotrader.com. Should be able to get one for 30-35k. Certainly not chump change, and no benefit of 0 down 0% for 72 months, but within the realms of "one day".

Right now the stick shift V8 Vantage is less than $100k brand new. That's like a well optioned Escalade. It's probably more attainable than you think.

Wait 4 years and I think you'll find the $100k British car to be attainable.
