Tiff Needell Track Battle: SLS AMG Roadster vs. DBS Volante

Here we have another EVO TV video that's a fine recipe for car-guy action: the 3,990-pound Aston Martin DBS Volante and its 510-horsepower 6.0-liter V12, the 3,661-pound Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster and its 571-horse 6.2-liter V8, one English track, Tiff Needell, and one million drops of rain. Mix, record, and voila.

Needell's mission was to see whether the English GT or German missile could lap the wet track more quickly. While the end result might not be surprising, how closely the two cars finished was...

Having seem both cars really close, I think AM easily tops in sexiness department.

I'm not loving the look of that roadster. I'd rather take the gullwing any day of the week

I think all of these British car shows would be so much better if they all left the UK...and moved to Arizona.

Or, at least someplace where it doesn't freakin' rain 300 days out of the year!!!

Without a doubt the DBS is much sexier

I find the SLS rather ungainly to look at...AM for me, please

I will take this Aston over this Benz any day without a second thought, but yes, I prefer the coupe version

This.....had some experience with the SLS recently, while unique the styling loses me.

I'd prefer the DBS (not that I could afford either). That being said, biggest plus I see for the SLS is the wheel mounted paddles vs. column mounted.

I'll take the Aston Martin, but the MB sounds like a beast though.
