Aston V8 Vs Audi V8

"you can view the merchandise providing you don't test drive or buy..." the problem is I like test driving

Have a test drive booked in an Aston tomorrow, was the cheapest car in the ferrari dealership!!

Are you planning a swap Steve ... maybe now or in the future ... or just doing a bit of window shopping? If it were me I'd have to develop some will power before even stepping foot in a dealership filled with such temptation. Do you get a reasonable amount of respect from the sales force driving in with the RS6?

I could seriously have a TVR Cerbera as a weekend play car though ... still love the shape of the design even now and the sound of the TVR V8 .

If you're seriously thinking of getting a Cerb Rich_C, I'm selling mine, PM for more details if you want to.

My Cerb (4.5)2001 is de-catted with sports exhaust, and when on WOT, it sounds like WW3 has just broken out, nothing sounds better IMO

They were lovin the beast, blistering performance from a 4 door saloon, he thought it was most amusing that we were disussing how much less punch the Aston had than the RS6 because its Normally Aspirated; what it lost in performance it gained in vocals as the Aston sounded bloody lovely, you cold cruise along without any intrusive noise, but then drop it down a gear (nice gearbox btw) and hear it wail. The driving experience in the Aston did not feel worth that level of cash though IMO, gorgeous car inside and out, cheaper to run than the RS6!

Just window shopping for now... although I said that when I bought the RS6 a couple of years ago, I had a look on the internet/classified's on the Monday and had bought one by Saturday, first time I ever drove an RS6 was after I had bought it! Fantastic experience.
