The whole idea of the V8 Vantage was to have somthing to rival the 911's. The factory has never said it will ONLY rival the base 911. They're the worlds fastest growing car company and it only makes sense to have this car competing at different levels. This car has so much potential, as do the DB9 and the Vanquish. It would be foolish not to take advantage of at least a little bit of that (no pun intended).
I don't really care how fast the car is, even though I'm an Aston fanatic, because I know that it looks better and has more class than any porche ever could and thats what Aston Martin intends. They know they're in a class of their own and thats exactly where they intend to stay.
