I doubt he has to even Egg-Nog it.
His wife's M3 was proof enough for me, he was getting one.
Anyways, here in Plano, people have money.
And in my neighborhood, a good share live here.

My neighbor who isn't much of an outsider had his DB7 out. Being an enthusiast, I asked if he would trade it for a new Aston. The 1st thing he said was that he was looking for reports of Vanquish S owners.

And since you happen to be one, I want to ask on his behalf....how is it?

Thanks to everyone for the comments. The car is just wonderful. I never knew a "car" could drive like this. When you hit the trottle it does not sound like any other car I have ever been in. It is like a machine and I suppose that is what it is. A real treat. I am glad I decided to do it.

The car in the background is a Ford Mustang I bought for my daughter.

Again, thanks for all the comments.

I wanna see that too..........in addition I wanna see the whole brake and suspension, but I doubt you won't take the wheels off just to take a few pics.

I was at Ford Motor's Michigan Proving Grounds a few weeks ago. It was amazing. 5 different courses. Top speed 172 MPH.

You're lucky to have one of the best British cars ever.

Last year I went around Zandvoort in a Vanquish and it rocked!! I'll never forget the power and sensation of that car...

Great to see you have it, its really starting to confirm they way I think I'll go.

Is it everything you had hoped? I know that over at AMOC you mentioned there were differences you felt between it and the Vanquish, other than the obvious dash update what else jumped out at you?

The biggest differnces are what occured in 2005 and 2004 with the Vanquish going to a Vanquish S. Those differences were huge.

Other than the new dash which totally updates the car, the car is the same. Mine seems to be really fast. I think faster than the one I drove at the dealership. They say the car learns how you drive. Well, I am teaching it. :)

The sound of the engines appear to be the same although the "S" has greatly increased power.

Aston Martin Vanquish

Performance figures
Power 450 bhp / 336 KW @ 6500 rpm
Torque 556 Nm / 410 ft lbs @ 5000 rpm
BHP/Liter 76 bhp / liter
Power to weight ratio 0.25 bhp / kg
Top Speed 306 km/h / 190 mph
0-60 mph Acceleration 4.6 s

Aston Martin Vanquish S

Performance figures
Power 520 bhp / 388 KW @ 7000 rpm
Torque 577 Nm / 426 ft lbs @ 5800 rpm
BHP/Liter 88 bhp / liter
Power to weight ratio 0.28 bhp / kg
Top Speed 321 km/h / 199 mph
