I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
I was involved in the development of the engine of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage engine (AM5/AJ37) and the irony is that the Porsche 928 was used as a benchmark vehicle for the transaxle layout!
The title of this video is bullcrap. That Aston was minding his own business and wasn't even aware of the 928. Heck I could run past a fully stopped 911. You wouldn't make a video and call it middle aged dude VS 911 would you?.. or maybe you would. And, on another note, If I had a penny for every little kid in some douchy racer trying to pass me I'd be rich by now.
You are dumb as shit.. Official specs combined with my dad having rented one out.. I can tell you the V8 Vantage has 380BHP, 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 186.. That performance blows the 928 back to its release date... Lets not embarress the 928 and talk about the sound of the Aston :)
they are horrid car in my opinion, and aston settles for 4.5 to 60mph, as for 186, thats db9 territory and the vantage was meant to be slightly lower, so it settles for 178mph.
928 is such an awsome car and one i admire, yes the vantage has a sound to keep you in heaven, but the 928s grumble from the v8 is enough to send me crazy! such a more 'meaty engine'.
if i could own either, it would be the 928 gt from 1992 :)
You've got a point there. In the time we had it hired out we tested some of the facts, we did get it to 60 in 4.4 seconds, with wheelspin... The aston does do 186 easy, we raced the new m3 e92 on a dual carriageway, up to 160, obviously the bmw was limited to 155 but the speed it got there, it was a job keeping up. I know alot of facts about the aston and having seen them in action, i know exactly what im talking about. It's not rapid, but it's surely quick enough.
yeah i wouldnt turn down the offer of the aston by many means!!! its a very nice car, and your lucky to have raced an e92, my dads old 964 turbo had a rave with an esprit turbo gt and got it to 145mph but then i began to feel the 911 was a little hasty at higher end of the table.
i think the aston martin may do 186 if your refering to the N400 which is certianly a pretty car.
if i was to get an aston, i would go back in time for an 1986 vantage :) 181mph cabriolet :) 5.7!
Okay mate I think you've nailed the head with that one, thats what it must have been. Cos I just re checked specs from the site and top speed for normal is 180mph... None the less it would kil the 928.. Anyone seen the new 911SC.... ORGY ON WHEELS.
yep the limited edition is the sexiest porkie ive seen yet!! shame theres only 250 of them and they cost £115k a piece :( but wow 10/10 for remaking a legend that is the carrera rs-the greatest 911 classic ever.
the n400 would kill the 928 at the start and keep the lead yes, however for cruising, i would take the 928 it is a smooth sporty tourer! witha 5.8L soundtrack!
Ppl who upload this kind of vs vids, are usually sorry loosers, or have a problem with the definition of what a joke is.
Nope, it's not funny to write that this was a race, and no; it wasn't a race. I have overtaklen a Porsche in a Fiat 500, but that sure as hell doesn't mean the Fiat is the faster car. It only means that the driver of the Fiat (a mate of mine), was driving over the speed limit, while the Porsche wasn't.
Aston V8 was cruising cool and all you show is your infantile insecurities. You could have at least called your vid "Look at the luxuriously appointed 928 interior" and showed off the digital dash trip computer, memory seats or something. Would have gathered more respect. Silly twit.
What a complete nob.. I love when people post.. look I am beating a better car.. and their not even looking, or even racing.. because they probably have a hot chick in their lap.. or listening to some good tunes with an attitude of "What" "You want a race" Please...
Well then you and 30 other people(that thumbed up your comment) don't "know" the car as much as you think.
I used to work for a large dealership several years ago that carried Porsche, Jaguar, & Aston Martin and used to drive many of the cars on a daily basis.
As beautiful as the AMV8 and all their cars are, they aren't as quick as everyone perceived them to be. The AMV8 Vantage is a 380hp car weighing in at almost 3,500lbs. InsideLine for example ran a 13.3 @ 106.0 on the 1/4.
@stepahead2be the aston is a ironpig and the torqe of the 928 will eat the aston earlyer... i drove one last year the gts 5.4 liter the only problem is the damn automatic gearbox but the old porsche V8 is a way better engine than in the other (british) car ;O)
ok, read the review on the 2007 Vantage. handling is meager, 928 is much better with perfect weight distribution. top speed on Vantage is 175, 0-60 is 4.9. 1987 Porsche 928, top speed 172, 0-60 is 5.5 with 316 horsepower. I would take the 928 any day, pick a nice one up for 10 grand versus 110,000 for the vantage.
The Aston is really only great cause its a Aston Martin. The 928 was really ahead of its time, porsche was really proud with what they did, and I hope they do bring the 928 back.
however, it is independently run and each car is built by hand... plus they are some of the most beautiful cars in the world. so i wouldn't hate on aston simply because it is a ford brand.
aston isn't owned by ford anymore... they hold an 10% stake or something, but aston was bought by 2 investment companies (Investment Dar and Adeem Investment Co) in a deal lead by Prodrive
Eh, whats wrong with a Ford again? Last I checked it was a Ford that kicked Ferrari, Lambo, and Porsches at LeMans for like a decade when they were into that kind of thing. I'll take a GT over an enzo any day.
