The AMV8 is not going to compete with the 911 turbo, but with the C2 and C4. I think Aston Martins are plenty fast BTW.

To hemi_fan: you're speaking of the video with Tiff Needell and the V8 Vantage Le Mans I think. The V8 engine of that car didn't meet emission regulations anymore and had to be cancelled. The V8 in this car is a different engine.
Are you serious? I thought I saw in some mag that the amv8 will be going against the turbo. Anyway, Aston's are fast yes, but not like 360 fast or murcielago fast or turbo fast. Just look at the Vanquish, that thing weighs like a billion lbs..
