Vette vs Aston
Discussion
I personaly fell in love with last years C5 race car, so i'm looking forward to seeing the C6 this year. There was nothing to match the awsome sound of the cheve V8. But I certainly would'nt be too upset to see the Aston take the class. A stunning car with all the British motor racing heritage to boot, although
I do think though Astons relitive lack of experiance in this race may be they're undoing. Still I cant imagine either having much trouble from the prancing hourse, lol. Anyway, here's to an awsome looking GT class at this years Le Mans.

The Astons will take the GT class win, but the Vette's always take the best sounding engine award. Awesome.
not so sure about that, the panoz, is damn fine too.

Don't forget that the Aston is being run by Prodrive though and they seem to know a few things about the sport...
My money is on the Aston, but then I thought Herbert would catch the Goh car last year...
O/T,
Super, that bl00dy chilli is still having a go at me as well you git!

Personally, having heard the Astons at Silverstone earlier this month - they sound the dogs doodahs - much better than the Vettes....
As for who will win it - Aston only won Sebring cos the vettes dropped out - but they did beat the Vettes at Silverstone (albeit only a sprint race by comparison) - would love the DBR9 to win, but they'll have a tough race against the current best - Le Mans is a very different circuit to Sebring....

vettes just cos they sound so good!!!
best noise is panoz & vettes + the morgan sounded great, like a spitfire at full chat. Spiffing!!!
I'd agree to that , the morgan is a great sounding car. There must be somthing about V8's. TALLY HO!!!!
Screaming V10 Judds for me
. The Zytek and RfH Domes sounded good last year, as did Shorty's Dallara. Oh, nearly forgot, Aston vs Vette...well, it's gotta be the green machines!
both teams running new cars, although the vette team are using a car which is very similar to the C5-R but i think i'll have to give it to the aston's (prodrive, two great teams of drivers, quite similar to the 550).
if prodrive have followed the same kind of aero as the 550 before then expect the DBR9 to rule down the mulsannes, the vettes couldnt live with them in a straight line.

Saw the Astons racing last years C5-R at the Tourist Trophy at Silverstone a couple of weeks ago. The C6-R is faster than the C5-R, but only has 3 races under it's belt.
I believe the vette and astons will be very closely matched, it will come down to pit stops and problems as to who wins. The one thing you can put your money on is the vettes will finish.......and as the old addage says "to finish first....first you have to finish"
As Prodrive are prepping the Astons I beleive they will run the vettes close but obviously I hope the vettes win!
Aston's look fantastic but sound like an angry wasp on speed.
Not sure about the C6-R looks but I know they will sound fine....I prefer the look of the C5-R.
