was a 2006-8 Aston Martin V8 Vantage in bright red. It was the coolest, not because of the looks (which are awesome), or the speed (which actually wasn't that fast), but because of this:

That sound will haunt my dreams until the day I can actually own one of those cars.

Small V8's make the best noise. Get one of these to hold you over until then.

Rode in one last summer. It was like nothing else. The one I rode in was at C&C. It had modified cats so it was louder. Also had lowered suspension and the best color combo I've ever seem. It's still the best looking car I've seen for sure. I've riden in faster and more expensive, but the Vantage was special. When we redlined it on the freeway...I won't forget that. Did I mention it was also a manual?

Beautiful, fast, loud, exotic, classy.

If only they suffered from severe depreciation so that maybe, just maybe, I could have a chance of owning one some day.

Oh wait…there is hope!

I agree. It is my absolute favorite. Have a sound clip from my blerrrg:

The Aston Martins sounded incredible at the COTA WEC last year. Hope to see them again.

My friend drives a '97 SC400 in the same color. When we ran Mullholland yesterday, I was behind him. My ears were having a crisis. It's really that good. It just is.
