    I can't wait till you're road to AMG GTR!

      Agreed :)

      it will arrive mid to late 2017 from what i recall Shmee saying on social media

      Nah, the road to Ford GT is where it's at.

    • @patrickpelletier6315
      @patrickpelletier6315 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nik Brudar yea but i think all 3 are awesome. Id probably rather the GT over the GT8 or AMG GTr but id like any aswell as they are all amazing.

    perfect explanation that this car is about "emotion and driver connectivity". Great mix of cars in your collection. And zero redundancy.

    I have all faith in Tim speccing it beautifully- what a monstrous machine

    I just fell in love with this! The sound, the looks, just everything is perfect. I would die for this beast. Truly one of the best sounding cars ever

    30:01 For that extra ad revenue? Naughty Naughty. Not that I'm complaining, that Nissan advert was on point. Love you Tim! 😂😉👍

      @Shmee150  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't actually think that's a thing? It's coincidence how long this video is - afterall I didn't exactly have the time to add up all the talking while I was going... lol

    • @finlaydownham-white6823
      @finlaydownham-white6823 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Shmee150 No Worries Tim. Just making sure because I know that some TH-camrs are quite sneaky with things like that...
      And, I think I'm just as excited as you about the GT8. I have a desire for Astons! 😁👍

      @finlaydownham-white6823 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Laurits Boe Sørensen Yes but some people are just greedy and take what ever opportunity hey have to make money, but Shmee's not like that, which is good. :)

    I cannot believe people are arguing a limited edition 2-seater Aston. People shhhh and let Tim enjoy HIS life. HIS choice. :)

    You are a lucky boy (giggling school girl) but through your own hard work and we can only thank you for bringing us on the journey. I could listen to that engine all day. I remember my E39 M5 fondly and to have that power in a coupe with a special exhaust must be something truly special. Enjoy.

    • @ClarkyXPH
      @ClarkyXPH 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      And I'm sure yours will look much more tasteful what with your martini GT4 wrap and all, I like lime green but there is too much on the press car

  • @shivrrrr
    @shivrrrr 8 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I feel like AM has a lot of work to do regarding the interior experience. Its good that they stick to their design language but I still feel like the interior could be massively upgraded while still sticking to their heritage.

    • @the-boring-car-guy
      @the-boring-car-guy 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If they had modernised the interior, it will reduce the necessity and therefore desire for a replacement

    • @Cantstoplolwing
      @Cantstoplolwing 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @pachahk6632
    @pachahk6632 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    It feels good seeing you more happy than serious. The gt8 really seems to give an emotional attachment to it driver. As you said it is a car you buy with your heart.

      are you stupid?

    • @Shmee150
      @Shmee150  8 ปีที่แล้ว +67

      I'm sure it's still faster than a manual shift, but I'd take the manual as this car is built for experience more than speed.

    • @vinchoucha007
      @vinchoucha007 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      +sunAke listen little ! This gearbox is a shit look and listen the Time for up or down a gear ... So now are you stupid ?

    • @vinchoucha007
      @vinchoucha007 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Shmee150 yes, the manuel is the Best choice for this car ... Congrats for your new car !

  • @hax0r117
    @hax0r117 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Schmee, huge props on picking the manual. U da real MVP. Good to see a man with the money to actually buy a supercar *also* has the balls to get it in a manual. It's also really nice to hear that 70% of these things are being ordered with manuals! The driving enthusiast isn't dead yet!

    That transmission just isn't cutting it.

    • @xPUR3xSHOTZx
      @xPUR3xSHOTZx 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well the gearbox is a bit clunky around town but this car is not meant to be driven around town.

    • @chasemcwilliams6516
      @chasemcwilliams6516 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Russell in a car like that the shifts should be instantaneous there should be no lag

    • @patrickpelletier6315
      @patrickpelletier6315 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yea i think it really ruins the car, both sound wise as it revs up slowly on downshifts instead of snap shifts and the fact that it isnt that fast. even if it was and i got my hands on one id have chosen the manual anyways and im glad Shmee did aswell

    • @charliechetwood2358
      @charliechetwood2358 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That's why he's going manual- why don't Aston just put the 8 speed ZF in the Vantage aswell as it's bigger cars? Ridiculous!

    • @patrickpelletier6315
      @patrickpelletier6315 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Charlie Chetwood yea that would be a good automatic to have. Maybe it wouldnt fit though but they could definitely get it to work on the replacement if they try. I think the DB11 is still a single clutch automatic transmission

  • @minibus1351
    @minibus1351 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I honestly don't expect the new version to be better looking than this current Vantage. Just look at the new DB11.

    • @Shmee150
      @Shmee150  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      DB11 is a fantastic machine, I'm sure the new Vantage will be brilliant too.

      @patrickpelletier6315 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      i actually like the DB11, no doupt i loved the Vanquish and the DB10 for 007 but the DB11 is a nice car, the only thing i hate on it is that tiny little lip spoiler that pops up. it looks stupid in my eyes

  • @rphysik3215
    @rphysik3215 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had conflicting feelings about this car. But then I pictured myself owning it and I was pretty damn happy so props to you man!

  • @JvHB97
    @JvHB97 8 ปีที่แล้ว +75

    To be very honest, the sound of the car, at least in the video really annoys me. Surely it's insanely loud but not refined at all. Really disagree that it is the best sounding car. Really Prefer Ferrari V12s or even a F40!

    • @JvHB97
      @JvHB97 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And obviously the CGT!

    • @patrickpelletier6315
      @patrickpelletier6315 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      this is a pure sound aswell. listen to the racecar and listen to this. your opinion is fine though i thought of letting you know it wasnt meant to be refined

    • @JvHB97
      @JvHB97 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Patrick Pelletier yeah, need to hear it in real life probably, still won't call it the best sounding car though, but everyone his opinion off course :)

    • @patrickpelletier6315
      @patrickpelletier6315 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jens v H yea no doupt and i respect yours aswell, i cant really pick which is my favorite if im honest (out of Ferrari V12's, F40 V8 Twin turbo, Carrera GT or this) but i do like them all

    Possibly the worst steering wheel I've ever seen. Shmee, cancel your order.

    • @notmanjo
      @notmanjo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      So because the steering wheel isn't good the whole car is then not worth it? Makes Sense.

    • @mr_glasgow84
      @mr_glasgow84 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Patrick Mura That paint job just seems to cheapen what is a very classy car and the bolt on parts make it worse. The interior also looks bland imo. Tim's health to enjoy it but it's funny how he can get so excited about this when he owns the superb McLaren.

    • @mr_glasgow84

      +Shmee150 i kinda agree with him... The interior isnt that good for such a nice sports car. I mean it sounds like it looks, just damn good, but the Interior should have been wayyy more exclusive and exotic for such an expensive car. But I dont know how you specced (?) it. Maybe its better with your car! But anyway.. Astons are great and you chose the right car!

      He better got the Vantage GT12 Roadster that car is a stunner or he should wait for the first special edition of the DB11.

      Being an ambassador of the GTI world, your comment is offensive to us non-rice folks.

      +Imran Mohammed yes, this particular car is expensive but I was talking in a broad sense. I see ALOT of Aston Martins where I live, they bore me now.

    • @hazardousfromage

      Boring? Have you seen what they've done over their life?

    • @JaYb97716
      @JaYb97716 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Me too. The brand is getting bland for sure. Despite this "souped" version it still does nothing for me, style or aesthetics wise. Can't comment on the sound until been in or seen one tho.

    • @Da5hed
      @Da5hed 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +HazardousFromage what they've done has no relevance to whether or not they are boring. This is my opinion, and don't get me wrong i appreciate what they do but it just seems like the same shit over and over again, like Porsche. Apart from the occasional 'outside-the-box' car, they're all the same to me.

    I really like it but I have 3 main concerns with the vantage:
    1. The gearbox
    2. The speed/acceleration (it's slower than some family cars from AMG
    3. The design of the vantage is starting to become less beautiful now that they are putting out new cars.
    Apart from that the exhaust and drama are insane!!!

    ok, I gotta be honest for this one. Ever since you announced you were going to get one, I thought it was a pretty good sounding car...not the best, but good nonetheless, then 17:30 in the video came around and, oh my god, all the hair on my body stood up and I was like "holy fuck".
    So yep, it's pretty damn freaking good sounding.
    I can't wait to see yours, Tim.

  • @MrRarekiller10
    @MrRarekiller10 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Aston Martin's slow gearbox is okay for their brand. They are not speed cars, most of them are GT cars. Gran Tourers which are nice to ride with power available and comfort and performance when you need it. The problem with people who dislike Aston Martin's or don't agree with them, is that they either don't understand the automobiles or they are not interested in what they are. Aston Martin's motto is power, beauty, and soul.. They have a V12 and V8, they have timeless designs, they have heritage, history, winnings, and a story. Aston's are a work of art, a sculpture, and they are something to appreciate because they bring so much to the car market.

      @TedwardDrives 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Sure but the F430 hasn't been in production for 7 years, so it is disappointing to see something that antique in a GT8. I'm sure you're more than thrilled to be getting into a manual car of your own! Looking forward to the collection of that one =)

    The mustang shelby gt350r is the best sounding v8 ever!!! I will say this aston martin gt8 is very very close second though. My absolute dream garage would be a 2020 Shelby GT350R and a 2017 Aston GT8 absolute dream. One day one day. Have the 2 best sounding v8's and just amazing drivers/track cars 😍 ❤
