Exchange the white for the kermit and that would be brilliant as well... but not shocking, just brilliant :-)

Not mine, but I do get a little me excited every time I see a GT8 in this colour

Is the boot open or is that a really bad shut line?

Yes, I noticed that too.

It is the tailgate not fully closed.
I am familiar with that appearance. Don't like to squash my charger cable.

I don't mind yellow cars, but this definitely isn't for me.

Im not sure I like the race track look unless its going to go on a race track; its getting too close to a max power fast n furious 90's Toyota Supra look wink

Maybe im getting too old, in my early twenties I was dreaming of a car like that smile

Anyone got a better picture of the green one? Could be the best yet! Unless it has pink calipers.

I like both of them, but I think the Yellow one would have looked a lot better with unpainted CF. Yellow painted CF decals on Yellow is too much IMHO - the viridian Green is much better balanced with the full unpainted CF.

Didn't last long! The advert was only up for a few days, and has now been replaced by a white car at the same price. Looks like manual is the way forward... the SS car at Redline isn't moving.

Thanks for posting the vid - although still doesn't clear up for me what the stain/mark is underneath the NSR light cluster. It was visible in the photos on the advert too, but I dismissed it as some sort of shadow. Any ideas?

You and me both (though I think by my 20s I'd grown out of it smile).

Dynamically for a road car they do nothing. So you're left with "look at me"...the antithesis of Aston IMO.

Best V8 Vantages were the cars up to about 08. As soon as they messed about with the inside and started adding skirts it all started to get clumsy.

That said...I do like the interior of the GT8.

Evidently you don't - I'm 46.

Do you also wear the arse of your jeans hanging round your knees and a beanie hat in summer? smile

Is the temp info displayed with the tyre pressure, the temp of the tyre or the air in the tyre? If its the air in the tyre at what air temp are the tyres warm enough to start pushing it a little?
