As the owner/driver/drifter of a British car with wire wheels, I can say for a fact that the DB-5 couldn't win. It simply wouldn't hook-up off the line or hold the road as well as a recent mid-engine Ferrari. Physics wouldn't allow it. Now, let's rewind to 1965 when the DB-5 was mixing it up with Jaguar E-types and Ferrari 250GTO's on track, and we'll see a race. Although the 250GTO still has it beat.
