My boss has a DB6 and is always bragging about how quick it is, it feels slow compared to my scooby, what is the likely outcome if we hit a track one day? Cos thats what he wants to do, just wondering if its wise or not, I personally think i'd kill it but hey, i've never driven a DB6!

I got a uk turbo with decat and tek2 with pagid discs, his db6 is more or less standard apart from a a webber conversion he had done.

I think you'll get killed!- i have a de-cat uk turbo aswell!

UHF

remember this is a 2 ton 1960's car! its flipping massive and probably only has about 350hp in a straight 6

MarkCSC

Rolling start the DB6 would whoop you, 325bhp. The scoob should have better brakes, more grip etc but on track I wouldn't count it out especially if he can drive well.

londonpaul

I think you would kick his ****, driving skills being equal

UHF

really, surprising what you said, its 2ton and 350hp and i'm 1.2tons and 270hp probably. suppose he is rear wheel drive tho.

I remember on the road once when i had a FRST he tried to leave me in a straight line and didnt do too well, you can discount driving ability, we're both as crap as each other, apart from he thinks he isnt, which probably makes me quicker as he'll take chances!

CraigH

How can you even compare a 1960s GT to a Scoob?

Your Scoob will hammer him. As it should do.

UHF

Because he is a pain keep going on about his Aston so I thought i'd challenge him to shut him up, office politics gone mad

Ray_li

Make it more interesting put some money on the line better yet race him for his car

UHF

I dont want it tho, it may be a classic car but its not polished, its dented and the interior hasnt been cleaned in years, he is all for owning an aston but too lazy to look after it!

mista weava

fast and furious style! i like it - would be great to walk away with the aston!

personally, imo i think that the scoob should win hands down. just physics that draws me to that conclusion.

UHF

knowing my luck tho a japanese bloke on a motorbike will uzi it!

JackClark

I had a blat with one the other day. Coming off a roundabout I would have left him if he'd given me room, wasn't gaining until he eventually hit third then I left him.

UHF

was it purple, not shiny and driving by a wide bald bloke?

Butkus

The Scoob will murder it. 40 year difference in technology, as well as huge weight difference. I've been told they handle like lorries anyway.

Remember the race at the beginning of Goldeneye? Ferrari 355 against Bond's DB5 (6?). He may be Bond, but come on...

UHF

how about on a 1/4 mile track then? too much weight to get moving?

Crush

I think the DB6 would win

JackClark

Definately not shiny, dark colour, had a few racing looking stickers and smoked a fair bit. Was on the road from Amersham to Aylesbury.

UHF

ah wasnt him, doesnt have any stickers damn, would have been nice to go ask him if he had fun with the impreza i'll follow him home one day if he doesnt wanna go around a track!

camk

At 40 years older it Still looks better though Which isn't a statement you hear said very often...LOL

UHF

this one doesnt! and its a matter of taste if it was a clean car, which is isnt! its neglected!

Gussie Cup

On a track, the Scoob should eat it. Provided your boss isn't a secret Schumacher or something....

A good mate has a DB4, I'd swap my WRX for it! Such a class car!

:-)

UHF

looking at the performance figures, its like 8secs to 60 which is really really bad if you put it next to an impreza! oh well, i'll get him on the track and be more inclined to put some money on it can anyone recommend a track

UHF

hehe, luckily for me my cats are in hell long live the decat!

Gav

you would kick his ****, scoobs are the dogs. you wanna say "OK I'LL RACE YOU FOR YOUR MOTOR" and watch his face when he hands you the keys...

MarkCSC

Actually now I think about it the DB6 only had about 280bhp. The Vantage had 325bhp. You'll whoop him no probs
Oh and they weigh about 1.5 tons

from what i have heard the old Astons didnt handle particularly well which means he would have to be a damned good driver (which you say he isnt) to expoloit all its potential .
would have thought straight line there would not be much in it with aston still being beaten but round a track i think you would leave him a long way behind.
IMHO

He actually shouldn't stand a cat in hell's chance.

Aston that is.
