    Aston Martin V8 Vantage 24hrs Nurburgring vs 997 GT3

    Allright, which street legal track car would you rather have?

    I'm going to assume you know the general specs of the GT3, if not, google it.

    (IMO) The Aston looks better, doesn't have such a pretentious badge and probably compares more to the GT3 RS around the track because the V8V has been engineered to be raced for the Nur24, where as the GT3 has been engineered to give the driver atleast a few luxuries. The GT3 will certainly be more civilized, but I'm not a civilized person.

    I think the 911 will do a better job.

    GT3 for me. the stats look pretty similar but the GT3 has been around longer - more development has gone into it,

    I would choose the AM for its extreme good looks and more track oriented nature. As for reliability and development go, if it can drive to, complete, and drive home from the 24 hours of Nurburgring then I think it could handle normal driving with floggings at the track on the weekends.

    The Vantage, it was driven to the 'ring, took part in the race and was driven back. Unlike any of the other front runners.

    Very pertinent statement. That was how they used to do it- the drivers would drive their cars to Le Mans, and drive them back after racing.

    Plus, Porsches are common as muck. Astons are not
