Porsche 911 GT3 vs Aston Martin V12 Vantage S on track
video description
This is a matter of taste, though; I've never been a 911 fan. I see them too often, they're not special enough for me.

The GT3 is objectively the better car with better engineering, and especially embarassing it on the track despite half the cylinders and the engine in the -wrong- place. However, to the general population, it's just another of the other thousand Porsches driving around. I'd have the more special, more unique, rarer, more classical, more stylish, better sounding and more beautiful Aston. If supercar ownership was all about track performance everyone would be driving Radicals.

4 seconds in the dry says it all and on a short track the GT3 is a track car that you can simply drive anywhere they are the best for a reason there simply isn't a naturally aspirated car on the planet that can keep up let alone turbo cars facts are there and the 991. 2 gt3 rs did a sub 7 mins on nordschlife only 1 road registered car beat that oh wait yes that was the new Porsche GT2 rs

Not a surprise that the GT3 beat the Aston around a track. What was a surprise is that the difference in lap times narrowed in the wet. You would expect a V12 RWD car to have real trouble whereas the 911's RR layout would give much needed bonus traction over the rear wheels in the wet.

911 GT3 has legendary hallmarks for a reason. I'm surprised new Nuremberg ribg times haven't been attempted with each updated iteration of this exotic on a cold track or moist warm conditions
Even this time of the year a time below original recorded data is absolutely possible

I overtook a Vantage GT4 in my '08 997 GT3 cup car during a mixed race. That car looked really unstable in corners. It had way too much body roll, and it's tail happy (but this I think was the driver)
By the way, what's up with the tachometer rotating counter clockwise!

Please tell me you guys aren't actually considering those lap times on a fully damp track with water puddles all over it, then go on to compare it to the dry lap-times of the 650S and other vehicles. Someone tell me this is a joke, this whole review is pointless.

Fun on the road has nothing to do with track times. I-ve owned a V12 Vantage. It-s not a track car. It makes road driving so much fun rewarding. Now my Lotus 211 was a track car and I-m sure more fun on track than the GT3. But not so much on the street.

These tests are a bit ridiculous when they are done in the wet. Who drives their car hard on wet roads? Give us a test on a dry track please. The Aston is at a disadvantage in the wet because you can't put all the power down.

For such a track-honed car with a quicker gearbox, higher revs and over 200kgs lighter than a make which has essentially just been making fast luxury cars for. well, ever; I was expecting more than just 1. 5 seconds quicker
