If I had money to burn...

Having got back from Devon what is the first thing I see, Top Gear and the updated Lamborghini Gallardo spyder, Jesus what a beauty - I suspect it would be on the shopping list in front of a Z06 vert.

Talking of South Devon, you would not want to drive your C5 or whatever down there, I shall be hitting the nearside of the family Focus with plenty of T-cut next weekend!

Wasn't interested in performance, it was the looks (of course subjective) that thrilled me; I would lust after it if did 0-60 in 6 secs

What engine is this Barabas based on? (bit of a play on words isn't it)
Kind of think if I had a open cheque book it would have to made out to Callaway and one of his projected new twin turbo c6's. If my cheque book had to be just partly open a C6 Z06.

Not sure, but I've heard a rumour it is based on a highly modified LS-7. must be the fastest thing available atm.
Looks are questionable, subjective of course. For looks, V8V cannot be beaten, absolutely 100% to die for, and a relative bargain. 0-60 4.7sec, but who cares? its an Aston and that over-rides everything - IMHO.

mmmm sorry I have to disagree My current budget is well over 100K and I love Astons but I love Corvettes a lot more. Pity there isn't a high end Corvette over 100K right now. However, lots of rumours about the 'Blue Devil / Stingray' for 2008 / 2009. I've promised myself an Aston for my 50th birthday when the bones are getting older and the pace slows down a bit. It will be a 'shopping car' you understand, something to knock around in until the Vette comes out on sunny days

I guess as with all things it comes down to personal choice.

Nice one Eric !

Engine kind of looks similar to a Banks Twin Turbo installation.
Banks conversions make up to 1600bhp, so maybe Barabus have gone to them for parts and knowhow. I'm off the Excel tonight, so I'll ask them.

Thats why I intend to have both ! Totally different but equally brilliant. Still got a year to decide.....
