Any experience/opinion on AM8/Vantage...
I test drove an AM8 Sportshift yesterday - while not a 997TT, it was one very nice car - the handling and exhaust note were almost perfect- I'm thinking of adding this lil' beast to my stable - any opinions/advice?
Did I mention the exhaust note?

Drove one, loved it, love the attention that I got when I drove it, but comparing it to a 997tt, there is no comparison. 997TT all they way for sure power and performance.

But I do love the way the AMV8 sounds and looks.

Full agree. Take a AM V8. It is a beauty.

Very nice car. Truly hand made. Doesn't replace the TT but as a nice complimentary car, yes, go for it!
