Sorry but this car is not doing 11.8@125 in any stretch of imagination, on a dragstrip surface or a street surface. Not with a porky 4100 lb, RWD and a 5-speed manual.
Shit, this car was even slower than the Lotus Carlton. https://www.evo.co.uk/mercedes/sl/14156/aston-martin-vantage-600-v-mercedes-sl65-black

British muscle car! Yeah, exactly!
And after 13 years Aston Martin achieved the same performance numbers with its V12 Vantage S, that they already achieved in 2000 with this Supercharged V8 beast. Sounds comic, but sad... I wish Aston Martin presented us this old-good V8 Vantage again, in absolutely reckless interpretation - 700 hp Twin-Turbo V8, or maybe even Supercharged V12, tons of torque, stick / DCT option, suspension similar to the Camaro's Z/28, carbon-ceramic brakes, tons of carbon fiber, the same massive muscular design, and an interior full of British luxury! Totally brainless! That combination would be worth $300k! Perfect idea! :D
