Default Aston V8 Vantage

I was wondering that is it really so that the V8 vantage made the same time what M6 did. I looked the comparison between M5 and V8 vantage and on the Nuerburgring M5 is 10 secs faster, I think M6 will be bit more faster and on the Hockenheim ring is m5 2 secs faster. I don't know how the Isle of Man track looked like, was it with lot of straights or lot of corners. So what do you think about it?
Heres the test between V8 vantage and M5 http://www.track-challenge.com/main_...1=81%26Car2=79

M6 went on the track first and it looked like Stig was... how to say, getting recognized with the track or so and later he already knew where to break or where to drive faster

don't take top gear laps too serious, its just a part of the show, nothing too technical...
