I have a feeling that the Zonda will lose... knowing how most "tests" on top gear are supposed to be surprising. :roll:

Really looking forward to the aston feature

Last time (the feature with Damon Hill) I think the 575 won. Personally I don't really like the vanquish that much (even though I have a vanquish poster on my wall), I'd rather have a DB9

From the 5th Gear review of the 575M GTC, looks like it'll be a winner again. But never know, jeremy is known to be illogical

Agreed. The DB9 is lighter, cheaper, has a far nicer interior, and according to insiders, just as powerful as the Vanquish.

Frankly, I don't see why Ferrari or AM each make two different v12 coupes. Nobody is going to buy a 575 to toss around a road course, so adding a few inches to the wheelbase for a set of vestige rear seats wouldn't have much of an impact.
