Notes
I call this car the "Sledgehammer". There's nothing subtle about it. Initially I was looking to purchase a McLaren SLR but there are two big problems with that car. 1) It's not available in British Racing Green, 2) it's not handmade in Newport Pagnell! I had the Aston Martin Works Service give it the full bespoke treatment, fitted the VBOX, then drove over to Power & Speed oval to see what she'd do. The Knowledge? Without traction control this is an absolute monster to get off the line successfully. The best I could do was 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, mainly because I'm trying to get to second gear as soon as possible. 0-100 in 7.9 seconds, 1/4 mile in 11.8 and the kilometer coming in 20.3 @ 180mph. 0-100-0 in 10.4 seconds. Top speed is 236 mph. Not too shabby. *Edit 04\|20\|08 -- This car is not supercharged, don't know why I can't take the supercharger option off the tune list here. -- I'm returning to GT4 after a long time and looking at some of my old tunes. I've set this up a little softer now and taken the traction control off because it's obvious that the car didn't come with traction control. I hate to see older car setups with traction control...even 850 hp cars! This is a seriously fun car and should really be considered a cut-price Bugatti Veyron. Of course it's not as fast as the Veyron, but 400kg lighter, a hell of a lot simpler and...come on, British Racing Green! It's a handful around La Sarthe without traction control and I can't better my original 3'27" time. Have fun.
