EVO Magazine - New AM V8 and 997 S
In the article there's a lot of references to the 997S. The guy that runs Aston also talks about it, he used to run Porsche during the times of the 993.
One point that I found interesting is the Front-Mid-Engine placement that gives the car a nearly perfect 50-50 weight distribution, the guys in the article compare that to the fight aganst physics that Porsche has to deal with when developing a 911 because of the engine positioning.
Let's not get into the old argument of why a 911 does not make sense and why the Boxster is a better car, what I really wanted to hear is what you guys think of this new Aston vis-a-vi the 997S and future models from Porsche.
As I said the new Aston looks great and and that price range and specs it appears to me that it can be serious competition for Porsche (it can't in sales because of limited production compared to Porsche, but it can in performance and value for money)
Any opinions?
