Hey, don't get me wrong now. I love a V8 as much as the next petrol head.
Its just that I needed some ammunition for my Aston verses Corvette mudslinging match !

I've now got a foot in both camps as my wife's just bought a Pontiac Trans Am with a LS1 V8 engine - same 3rd Gen GM V8 design as in the Corvette  :o

That's because they need 12 to try to keep up with 8.   ...and their tinbox whine sounds weak compared to the macho rumble of the Chevy 8 (Corvette) or even the Ford 8 (Saleen).  But I must admit, they all sound fabulous in their own way, including the sixes from Porsche.  I just wish I could have heard the 917 12's, they really must have been something.  Film and tape audio on TV and audio systems just couldn't do it justice.

aaarrrrrgggggg.   It's a blooming truck engine...but....in it's day, it did rule.  I remember when the 'vettes were just begining to reach parity in at Texas Motor Speedway a few years ago.  Vipers had been whipping their fannies until then.

The following text and picture posted on behalf of johnevans3 (not me).


"NOTICE:  To all Aston Martin fans, behold the driver, Johnny O' with me (John Evans) who is going to show the "Asston's" what a yellow Corvette's "asston" looks like as they see him speed away for the win.  Just brings tears to your eyes don't it????"

Noting your picture John I've spotted the fault in your plan!

Johnny O obviously needs to be drinking Red Bull to stay awake for the 24 hours. But you can't get Red Bull in France, so he'll probably just fall asleep and miss his stint.  ;D ;D ;D

I guess it doesn't have to be Red Bull after all. Can you get Bud Light in France ?
