[blah]

ill take a vanquish over a 575 anyday of the week. Also the 575 replacement is suppose to be called the 600 or something. But displacement is bumped to 6.0 liters i believe.

Yeah I think it will be a close battle. Isnt the 575 faster? The Ferrari has historically been given high praise for its handling.

On Top Gear sunday :

Sunday, BBC2 at 8pm The TV show is looking for cars with an interesting history, which need restoring. Find out more... Meanwhile, the fourth episode in the new series will be airing on Sunday November 14, and as usual there'll be thrills and spills galore, including: -A Pagani Zonda goes head to head with a 16,800hp motoryacht -The uprated Aston Vanquish S meets Ferrari's 575M GTC -We play conkers with caravans -There's the fourth instalment of Top Gear Restoration -Richard Hammond and James May spend 24 hours in a Smart ForFour -Jimmy Carr is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car

Zonda, 575, Vanquish ... I wonder how they will do better in future series

[dingo]

That looks very enticing....can't wait for the Zonda and AM v Ferrari features.

HEll yeah...I've waiting for this test for 4 weeks now The preview shown in episode 3 made me even more anxious

[mindgam3]

cant wait for the zonda Vanquish vs 575 should be interesting although the ferrari should be technically better and faster but i reckon jeremy will choose the Vanquish..... as is the case in this months magazine.

Lets hope they spend more than 2 minutes on each supercar like they did last week

HAHAHHAHA Jimmy Carr in star in a resonably priced car.... how many lianas will they go through if you remember him from the stars in fast cars special then you know his driving is apalling

Well...that's only partially true. The 550 was given extremely high praise for its handling, including the Autocar magazine Driver's car of the Year status. However, the 575 without the GTC pack has not had the same ratings. The reviews I've seen reckon that the rear end is too soft and wallowy. However, the GTC pack is supposed to really transform the car and make it into the driver's car it was originally intended to be. The Sports Dynamic pack on the Vanquish has a similar effect. Anyway, should be an interesting comparison, can't wait

Yeah, i did mean the 575 with the GTC pack. I remember reading in evo how the standard 575 was off the mark.
If i remember correctly, the 550 came first in evo's car of the decade (or something like that) comparison test, beating the 911 GT3. So, if the 575M GTC isn't similarly good, i would be surprised.
