Glad to hear this. I've never driven a Vantage, but everybody I've talked to about them said that the one thing they needed was more power.

Obviously, I grew up in a different time...
To folks my age, and older, Aston Martin have always been, "a Gentleman's car." Sort of the sporting man's Rolls Royce or Bentley.
Obviously, AM has a magnificent racing heritage, but their road cars have never been race cars for the street... like Ferrari and a few others.
Even under the guidance of Prodrive, I don't think they're focusing on numbers and graphs to impress those who judge by statistics alone.
If someone wants to go fast, they'll buy a ZR1. If they want to go fast, and make a "statement", they'll buy the Ferrari in the moment.
- The way I see it, Aston Martin is doing an excellent job of offering the cars the majority of their buyers desire. ...Breathtakingly beautiful cars of quality, with more than adequate performance (across the entire spectrum of which this term is associated).
