c32 v's aston v8 vantage
saturday evening and i decide to go for a drive hoping for some fun, but after cruising around for about an hour i was feeling frustrated by the lack of anything worth a challenge, so i decided to head for home.
well as i take a right turn at the lights, a new AM V8 Vantage roars past me going in the opposite direction, so i quickly make a U-turn and head after him, and when i catch up he is sat at the next junction waiting for the lights to change, so i pull along side him and get ready.
normally when the lights change i will wait for the other car to make the first move, but with the way he had just tore up the road and the fact that he had most likely just seen me turn around to come after him i decided to just go for it.
as the lights start to change i hear him reving his engine and fully expected him to get the jump on me but he must have messed up because i got the better start and not only did i keep the lead i also managed to pull about 2 or 3 car lengths on him up to about a hundred.

believe it or not.. as far as ETA the C32 is a bit slower than the AM V8... But we are talking a minimal amount.
however they have way better trap speed than our cars..
stock vs stock it would be a drivers race from a dig, but from a roll, he would be pulling on you eventually due to 1 more gear and higher HP.
nice kill! Seems like you knew how to use your C32 better than his AM.
