    Yes the mustang GT350 looks great, they had one locally and wanted $15,000 dealer mark up.The sticker was 57k, but with mark up 72k....that's S6 territory. Not going to pay a dealer markup on any car.



    But what about a 2 seater, big V8, 58K.....yes a vette....LOL....but the lease numbers stink!

    CTS-Wagon. My other toy is a 996tt.... gets driven more than the RS6 does. A4 is my daily commuter. I'll never sell the RS6. I would pick up a newer gen RS6/RS7 in a couple of years, or an S6/S7 and tune the shit out of it. Such a better trans. The S7 is considerably larger than the C5 RS6.

    My daily is #4 RS6

    My play around is #2 RS6

    My play around/garage queen is #1 RS6

    I have lots of rotors sitting on the shelf. Along with a built 517 trans.

    If I didn't need a car to get to work (I suppose I could take the subway but it's 1.5hrs of nonsense each way vs 45mins of nonsense driving) I would sell both my cars and get something like a GT3 or a DB9/Vanquish. There's an '05 Vanquish S in Virginia for a paltry $70k right now and I could certainly get used to driving that!

    Very nice. I came within a knats ass of getting one but then remembered my problems with the Audi dealer and how AoA was backing the dealer and decided against it.

    Yes. 45 at 4 o'clock pushes one back counter clockwise.

    Ooh, that's so hard. I love the DB9 and the DBS powerplant is obviously superior but I don't like the aerodynamic add-ons so much. But it comes with a manual gearbox. The Vanquish on the other hand, carries quite possibly the coolest name in all of car-dom, heralded James Bond's return to the Aston marque and looks downright devilish. I suppose I'd have to drive both and decide, but I reckon I'd choose the DBS for the gearbox alone. I drove a 2008 DB9 Sports Pack with the 6spd auto transaxle and was pretty disappointed; I imagine the Vanquish's auto would be similar.

    I've always liked the vanquish & agree is one of the coolest named cars ever.....just today I took a ride in a sweet pearl white DBS 6 speed. The gearbox is very forgiving and it has some nice extras like matte carbon fiber trim interior in places along the door cards & carbon diffuser, ceramic rotors, piano black dash trim pieces and sweet aluminum shift nob and other aluminum dash accents that contrast nicely w/ the piano black. Exhaust sounds mean as hell, 7450 miles on odometer 10,000 mile service already done and there's an Aston umbrella in the trunk.

    Looking at the pics of that Vanquish S you linked to the interiors are very similar but one difference I noticed is that w/ the DBS you also insert the Key into the dash where the clock is on the vanquish S, while the vanquish S is 5 years older than the DBS and does seem more dated I still love them both.

    It's fantastic....

    Seat position is not a problem.....

    Can't wait for break in period to be over.

    I broke my RS6 in during the winter, snow tires, plenty of north country Snow...so it was easy to go easy on that car in 2003. But this one will be torture waiting out those miles. 200 on it so far....
