Saw one in Naples Fl last week at the dealership as it was being delivered. Drool Worthy

I read this myself and I got the goose bumps. I forgot for a minute that I had one in the garage. We got to 42 degrees today and I took the opportunity to drive it for about an hour. There just is an amazing refinement to go with all of that power. I can't wait for warmer weather to get the tires really "sticky" as the article says. For now I'll have to live with the occasional "mild day".

I just drove one yesterday. It was bad ass. The power was amazing.

Fantastic car - I test drove one but will keep my DBS - I loved the V12 Vantage and the sport button - wow - but my DBS is more visceral and planted and the steering more direct and..... (I know.....I paid a LOT more for the DBS), but.....

I don't blame you. It's funny, I had a deposit on a DBS before I bought my 4.3L. This is late spring 08. Then the spy shots of the DBS roadster surfaced and I pulled back waiting for the roadster. At the time, my dealer had a number of 4.3L's in stock at discount so I bought my car to get me by until the DBS roadster was available. Then the V12V news came and I was enjoying the 4.3L and figured I would wait to see if there was going to be a V12V roadster which I'm sure is unlikely. So here I am with a V12V thinking that I would love to add a DBS roadster to my garage and have my cake and eat it too.

what a funny story, it is amazing how life takes us sometimes, you walk in a place having something in mind, and leave it with something totally different.. But nevertheless, you ended up with a beast..

Really nice peak from the pic above, enjoy it in good health..
