Who's excited to watch Jack H drive and scare Zack?
Get this guy on the podcast lads..
Matt & Zach: always look forward to your unbiased reviews even during OEM-sponsored events. Keep it up and keep it real!
10:18 “Someone in front of me is doing big drifts…” Golly, I wonder who that might be? 😂
You mean Jack B(58)?
I need a compilation of Zack’s analogies 😂
I bet you it’ll be better than a Drake song 🤣
😂😂😂
New item for the merch store!
Would make a great End of year video.. A yearly supercut of all the great Klapman lines..
Without context
Its a shame Mark was detained by spanish authorities. So thanks for letting me ride shotgun Zach!
Thanks for coming along and scaring the shit out of me when you drove. Now I know why Mark asked to be detained.
I think you should ask someone to lend you a B58 bmws, or supra, cause it's gonna be a fiery day, eh?
This review style is wayyyy refreshing for Tst. The walk around and Z being funny as hell
“It makes the sound and it goes the fast” -Zack
Haha I heard that and knew I had to come to the comments. That's a phenomenal line
Zacks best work yet! He wasnt always this entertaining to watch, but this is as good as anybody else now.
That Jack into was gold hahaha
Suddenly a wild Jack appears!
And his boobs shake so nicely under acceleration.
The dry humor, detailed over view and the vehicle make this video great to me.
I was "Drake... what does Drake have too... Ohhhhhhhhhh"
I still don’t get it lol
@@Slowwagonftl
It's got ghost -writers- radiators.
Savage geese crossover!
The Drake diss was fucking epic 🤣
Where's my Pulitzer? (jk, Kendrick is on another level).
Gotta say, Zack has really come into his own as one of the top enthusiast car reviewers out there.
Floral shirt Zack is Dark Brandon for normal Zack.
And I'm f&$king HERE for it.
When the temp hits 94F my black t shirts have to step aside and let the boomer cocktail hour shirt take over.
Aston Martin really hit it out of the park with this one
I think the interior is a little generic, but certainly more modern and a MASSIVE step over the last Vantage. I remember renting one from Enterprise back in 2018 and it was huge disappointment. This one looks like it could be a Porsche interior if you cover up the badges. I think a more Bentley-esque design would be more appropriate
The ghost writer reference is what does it for me
What did he mean by that?
@@tamasszabo8824 it’s just a reference to the fact drake uses or used ghost writers for his music and he’s comparing it to the hidden radiators supporting the main radiator in the vantage like @1:40
@@sambanks3166 Thank you for the explanation!
Oh my goodness Drake taking shots from literally everyone 😂😂
Stroll pulled a di Montezemolo with the DB11->DB12 but this Vantage almost renders that silly. 14hp difference my ass would not feel
Well done, Aston!
He really has!
0:21 The previous V8 Vantage was feautured in 'The living daylights' and in 'No time to die'
That's a few generations ago now.
@@LiqdPT True
I love this crossover. Savagegeese needs to appear on the postcast!
Man, this is very cool! Looks million times more special than a turbo Beetle.
Ok Clarkson
🥴
idk why people like the 6 cylinder beetle. The strongest argument ive had so far is ‘because its a porsche’
@@vadwvea7153 until 992 it was the correct size, all the inputs were as good or better than anything on the market. It's incremental improvement over years and years.
Whatever buddy.
Once again, Zack shows his best work
Zack & Jack are a great duo
His silver back driving is something to experience.
Zack Jack Attack
The Drake ghost writer analogy was savage. Zack obviously sides w/ Kendrick 😂
Oh the T LEVELS in this Aston is giving me meat sweats
😂😂
Much jamon.
Love the Savage Geese crossover. More of this type of thing would be great.
Amazing video I've been missing this kind of fire in the the automotive space
Jack!!
Zach you’re a legend, brother.
Great review and video production Zack
Zack doing a great job! also kudos to the clarity of the helmet mic
Clamping to that mic post was so clutch.
Now that is one attractive motor car! Like every Aston it’s bound to look even more beautiful in the flesh.
Aston Martin seems to have yet again developed an objectively and subjectively great sports car relative to its competition, while stopping just short of excellence in making it a front runner in its class.
Great review and video Zack !
Great review and chemistry between you rwo 👍
Great review, ad lib jokes, and of all the testers, the best captured Vantage sound. Thank you for bringing up the lack of steering feedback.
Great work Zak!! Video had tons of personality
i like that zack is owning this review good job my man
Great review Zach and nice surprise collab w Savage Geese!
Great Video Zack!!!
love the new format, please keep this going. i know it's probably 10x more work and effort but i think we're all tired of the "one take" styles this channel is known for. Zach is hilarious and comfortable in front of a camera so it's a win win. Also, thanks for having Jack on...SG is one of my favorite car channels!!! also, jesus christ that tire setup is WILD, 275 front and THREE tweny five rear!!! I at least run a 305 front and a 325 rear on my GT350
Took me 3 FULL days to edit this, so hopefully people appreciate and share it!
Zack is killing it in front of the camera nowadays!
I really enjoy your reviews and i always love how Jack looks like hes having a blast.
Great review!
Great review. Technical but not overly so 👌
Brilliant new vid guys! I love the style of shooting 😂
Love the walk around intro, nailed it zack
Klapman sounds like UK drill slang for a shooter.
Hahaha
Zack is incredibly entertaining, well done
I love it they have fully unleashed Zack.
Top notch work Zach. Thank you
Can’t wait to see the new V12 Vanquish
So happy Aston actually listened to the complaints about the last one! Now we WANT / NEED A MANUAL!!!!
Finally get to see this car in a nice color that shows off the beauty, my 2021 is Scorpus Red which isn’t too different than this cosmos orange.
The only vantage review I'm watching
Not Drake catching strays in a UA-cam car review😂😂😂….excellent video Zack, bonus points for the savagegeese cameo….(is it me or does Zack vibe with everyone)
Subtle Drake diss got me LMAO
Excellent work zack. Appreciated the digs against drake as well
Beautiful…glad the transmission has been updated….
Zack, your line delivery just keeps getting better 📈
that was a great video
Great video! Zack needs to get paid more so he can buy his Maranello!
Zack crushed this launch vid, car color is phenomenal
This car is painfully beautiful, I think Aston has lagged behind for some time in terms of on-track performance but it makes up for it with exterior beauty, and now interior too. I won’t lie, whenever I thought of the V8 Vantage I thought “It’s great, but…” followed by drivability woes. This one doesn’t have any “but…”
Love Zach。More Zach!
Incredible
Really enjoy Zack’s sense of humor.
Love the lack of wheel gap, finally a car that addressed that.
Vantage will never be a 911 killer, but that is fine with me. Sweet looking car overall.
We need more of these Savage Smoking Geese videos
Aston martin just makes beautiful cars
Absolutely stunning
No bas angle
Aston Martin Vantage is back... and boy it's really back!!!
They made it gorgeous again!
This was absolutely hilarious.
Jack and zak excellent
Using “makes the sound and goes the fast” from now on thanks klap
I like the lil Drake dis👍🏾😂😂😂
What a difference a color makes, that blue is stunning! Orange is more than a bit out-of-place for an Aston.
Aston said that their F1 green is currently the most-ordered color. It's quite good.
So much of the components of the previous and current gen Vantage sound like parts, components and features incorporated into the previous and current gen AMG GT, but tuned up. From it's variable traction control, to the switch gear, to the rear transaxle (carry over from previous GT and Vantage), to the V8 and carbon fibre driveshaft ... and so forth. It's like AMG either sold their IP or the actual components to Aston. If so, it might explain why the Vantage has been more expensive since AMG would have sold all this stuff for a profit. To be honest, if all the components have been in-house designed and built, then there is no reason why Aston couldn't have undercut all the competition and stolen the show. Astons depreciate more heavily than AMGs which is a telling sign that some of their cars are overpriced. As it stands, as great as this looks, I can't see myself paying a premium for the badge and instead just get an AMG GT with the same technical stuff and AWD as an added bonus. But I'm probably in the minority.
Squires hat made me LOL
Sweet
Nice point versus new AMG GT
They should offer a manual transmission though, to further differentiate it from Porsche and DB12. Would be sick
This is a great looking GT86
👀
love that color.
Best Jag yet!
The Cygnet front end is hard to miss.
2:35 - Pike? Spear? Lance?
Ah, I assume he was going for a Lance joke there. If didn't get it until I saw your comment.
...the crossover dreams are made of...
Not sure I love the interior but damm is the exterior gorgeous 👌
One of your best videos, TST! I wish they put a DCT in this car... Definitely seems like the bottleneck.
"Additionally, like drake [...]" lmao 1:40
A quibble: 18:25 - the new SL platform was made from scratch by AMG; it's not a carry-over from the previous SL platform and it's much more closely related to the previous AMG GT as a result. Your other points re: Vantage > AMG GT stand, but using the SL platform as a demerit doesn't really hold well unless you also acknowledge that the brand new SL platform by AMG is bad.
Which it could be. But absent that context, people will compare to the SL boats of the past.
Don't suppose you or someone could explain this could you? Haha. I've not been following what's going on 🙈
We drove the new SL last year and did not like it. ua-cam.com/video/K7pylhb4ssg/v-deo.htmlsi=5m7dZYTvRJhYsKzu
@@TheSmokingTire fair/valid, thanks for the clip
“Don’t put these on your corvette or whatever cuz it’ll explode”
Zack is good.
What is the difference (in terms of experience) between new Vantage and DB12?
The new Vantage looks so good, but I really don't like the digital gauges. It doesn't look any better than my VW's digital gauges. I guess I'll continue to never be able to afford the Vantage in protest.
I need more Jack n' Zack do Aston like crossovers
I was NOT expected Jack
If they ever come out with a manual let me know. It’s a stunning looking beast. ❤😳
You dropped a Drake diss about him hiding his two kids like the oil coolers in the fender well? Epic!!!!
I meant he was hiding his ghost writers, not his kids. - ZK
Character in spades and an AM badge, I’ll take this over the Porsche thanks. Good job Klapman as usual…
Fun review. As much as I like Aston (never driven one) I prefer a (of course used) 1st gen AMG GT. Though I'm glad Aston used the interior from that old AMG stuff just as a car fan. Don't think I'll ever be in the market for a $200K car.
I will say they did their best to make the engine sound as good as they could. Modern TT engines just tend to sound bad to me. Very nice lines.
Hell yes
