Driven the aston and its a disappointment the lambo and Audi are not involving enough. I don't like the ferrari but would pick it from that list

I had a similar day a few years ago. I drove a 911 and a 360.

The 911 was the better car as the handling was so much fun but it was quiet and comfy.

The 360 though, with the roof down and the mahoosive air box right by your head and a stonking V8 behind you was the better experience.

The traction control on the Audi will be set to sterile and the Aston is for old people.

I would go Fezza and Lambo.

I drove the Aston last year - for a 'gentleman's tourer' it bloody shifts, and stops pretty well - a lot better than the Bentley Conti I also drove.

I have had no issues on any of the track days I have done with being 'restricted' by gears/revs/speed - the instructors had no issues with me caning it, in fact they positively encourage you to drive the cars to the best of your ability.

If you get the chance to do a lap with an instructor driving a KTM X-bow R then do it - my instructor was mental in that thing, I spent most of the time going sideways laughing my tits off.

Oh, and if had the choice of cars that you have -I would go for the gayardo.

Ditto, particularly the day I spent at the Bedford Autodrome. Was encourage to go faster and faster and told not to worry about spinning off.

Aston is a GT so maybe on the A road but not track. Lambo is mental. 911 - fast but not special. 360, just to say you have. I'vwe driven a 996 and 997 911 and a Vantage. R8 then Lambo for me

I had an experience day last year. 3 cars, I chose Aston first because I have always liked them and was fun. Lambo sounded awesome and power was good but the Ferrari just stuck to the tarmac and went. If I was to buy one it would still be the Aston.

I chose the Lambo. Dare to be different in the world of supercars. I don't much care for Porkers, nothing more than glorified Beetles. Ferraris are becoming more common, Audis are driven by ***** and Astons are for golfists.

Edit: As for the obligatory Kiethd you're on yer own mate.
