What is going on. Aston Martin build a beautiful car, fit it with a crappy gearbox, weigh it down (even with Carbon fibre body) fit a feeble clutch that can't take a good old traffic light grand prix start and expect people to pay £158k for it !!!!! What the hell are those engineeers smoking ????????

This was a golden opportunity to bury the Ferrari myth once and for all and they completely cocked it up. When is someone going to stop faffing around and build a real Supercar again, I was never a fan of the Mclaren F1 but now I can see how it really was the real deal rather than these pseudo pose wagons currently being churned out.
