Aston Martin Vanquish vs Ferrari 550 Maranello

Which do you like more?
Take into account:
- Looks
- Performance
- Prestige
- Reliability
- English vs Italian

I am completely undecided.

Would you like a bloody cup of tea Guv'nor. No comparo needed Ferrari all the way. Aston's are just cars, Ferrari's define passion

Both are great and it's hard to pick. But I'll take the 550 Maranello. Only because of a few things though. They are both very very good cars.

Both unbelievable cars. Nothing bad to say about the Ferrari but I'd take the Aston Yea Babyyyyy

VERY HARD Comparo- but n terms of the aftermarket- Ferrari has it sewn up (Koenig) even stock for stock for stock the Ferrari moves and handles much better than the Aston- and they are by far more "passionate car"- However if you want Luxury then that is where the Aston shines

from the looks department i would take the aston
from the mecanical department i'll take the ferrari

Ferrari rocks this poll all the way. Aston Martin's are too heavy and handling sucks.

Why would you care about luxury buying a $300,000 monster performing sportscar?

You'd be suprised- but some people do- Just because you don't and I don't doesn't mean the next guy won't :rolleyes:

I have always dreamed about owning a Ferrari.

If you hear the sound a Vanquish makes your dreams of owning a Ferrari will rapidly evaporate.. The word "sound" doesnt even do it justice. Jeremy Clarkson described it as "God shouting" :hehe:

After seeing the Vanquish at the Detroit Auto Show a couple years ago, I feel in love! I will own one someday - just not yet.

You bet your ass i heard it first hand... a guy who lives on my street has one.... i was driving behind him for a few minutes once (trying hard to keep with him) and it really sounded incredible, like nothing else out there.... not surprising, with a trick exhaust and all... still, gorgeous sound... not outrageous like a Diablo but just as sexy

This gives you an idea

honestly though, it sounded 1000 times better "live"... the way theyve recorded these files arent great

i should add, the second file is better (and only 232k)

thank u Cray .. but after i downloaded it, I find the sound was different compare to what I heard in Die Another Day movie .... which one is the real sound of Vanguish?:D

The second mp3 clip captures the sound quite well, I saw the Bond movie but I cant really remember what the car sounded like in that. Im pretty sure the two clips are genuine, the second one does sound close to the real thing

ok Cray ... but the sound not really the same ... from the MP3 clip, it's sound like Scooby cat-back on WRX ... quite nice .. but the movie version nicer .. the sound is really awesome ... :D

like i said i dont really recall the movie but hear the car in real life and a scoob doesnt compare... not even close... its incredible
