[-]

martinelux@reddit

For a trackday definately the Aston Martin

[-]

sprucay@reddit

Vantage. The Cali isn't a "proper" Ferrari. The Mustang would be good, but the Aston is more exclusive.

[-]

The guy is taking it the track, I'm very confident the California is still the best on track out of the box despite the "not a Ferrari" reputation (which I never understood, since seems like a very similar concept to the super iconic Ferraris like Daytona, 275, etc.

[-]

Ajpeterson@reddit

The Cali is honestly not a good car, if I had to pick between that and a v6 mustang I would drive the mustang on track. Ferrari really dropped the ball in the handling department on those. The portofino on the other hand, very nice.

[-]

sprucay@reddit

I put proper in exclamation marks for a reason. Of course it's a Ferrari but it's the baby one, the soft one. I don't think it would be better set up than the Aston. I think that's a moot point though because I don't think op will be allowed anywhere near the limits of the chassis

[-]

Scarjotoyboy@reddit (OP)

When you say Exclusive, what do you mean?

[-]

juttep1@reddit

Don't listen to any of these people. I'd wager hefty sums that the overwhelming majority, if not all of them, have never even driven any sort of Aston Martin, let alone this one. They're speaking from brand conceptualization and not actual experience. Hence, they're talking about exclusivity, as if that means something. It doesn't make the car or the experience better for the end user per se, but is rather just sort of a means by which of inflating the value of set experience due to the perceived standing of the brand mustangs are more mass manufactured, astons are more bespoke, per se, and cost significantly more and thusly are marketed at the wealthy.

[-]

Scarjotoyboy@reddit (OP)

So what would you recommend?

[-]

Rubeus17@reddit

If you won’t consider a Porsche I’d say Ferrari every day over the Aston.

Whatever one you want. They'll probably all be about the same because I'm sure the event will have similar parameters for all of them. You will like any of them.

[-]

SparseGhostC2C@reddit

In comparison to even a 5.o Mustang: It's more rare, more expensive, a more refined experience in general.

To compare it to food, A 5.0 Mustang is a really fucking well made burger, an Aston is perfectly prepared steak.

[-]

Scarjotoyboy@reddit (OP)

Fcuk this shit is making me salivate lol

[-]

SparseGhostC2C@reddit

Probably ought to finish off your track day with either the burger or steak of your choice!

I got to do a track day in a Porsche 992 GT3 a couple years ago and as a fan of cars and driving in general, it's still a personal lifetime highlight. Enjoy the hell out of your time with whichever car you choose, getting to let rip on an actual race track is an amazing feeling!

There’s nothing wrong with picking the mustang, it’s a well made car with plenty of reasons to love it. That said, I’d do unspeakable things to drive an Aston. Even the Ferrari California would be an experience. Once in a lifetime opportunity for some people.

[-]

jcforbes@reddit

You can rent a mustang at the airport for basically the same cost as a Ford Explorer.... Definitely not a good choice for an experience where the other two options are cars that are very much more difficult to rent and cost 300% more.

triforce721@reddit

No way the vantage is more exclusive than a California? The vantage is one of the worst cars in its class, these were selling new for like 50k off msrp just a couple of years ago.

[-]

LeadfootYT@reddit

California sells way farther below MSRP than any Vantage…

[-]

sprucay@reddit

I was comparing it to the Mustang. It's not a comment on how good a car it is, but in terms of how common they are I've seen loads more Californias have I have vantages

[-]

bomphcheese@reddit

The Aston is the only one of those three that I’ve driven. It was ok, but I didn’t find it to be anything special. It actually wasn’t that quick and downshifts (auto/paddle) were a bit slow. To be fair, I was driving through canyons on a public road, but that was enough for me to probably opt for something else on track day where I would want even more performance.

[-]

sprucay@reddit

If it's the kind of track day I think it is, op won't get anywhere near 9/10ths.

[-]

GovernmentThink@reddit

The Aston will be cool at first, but kinda disappointing long term and maintenance is expensive for such a poorly made car. Mustang will be cheap fun you won’t regret, and even if you do, the loss won’t be nearly as bank breaking when you go to sell. If it’s a lease, get the Ferrari just to say you had one and get the mustang after you’ve had your exotic fun. Seems like you would get a lot more out of an M car, maybe m2 or m4, depending on use case.

Blamethespy@reddit

California is a fun roadster. It handles well. Highly recommend trying it. Vantages are good but unless ya wanna feel like James Bond I prefer the California over the vantage. The mustang is the most common of the three but in the uk this might be a rare opportunity to feel American. Just make sure if you pick the mustang there's no pedestrians or trees nearby when you start it.

[-]

Scarjotoyboy@reddit (OP)

its a racetrack

[-]

killerpotato1227@reddit

Easily the vantage. The Ferrari California isnt a big deal for Ferrari’s, it will be plain for what it is. If you want to drive a 5.0 go to hertz and rent their Mustang GTH. The Vantage is a way better choice, performance will be close to the mustang(if the aston is the 4.0), but will be memorable because its a Aston Martin. If it was a higher end Ferrari, i would choose that.

[-]

neotokyo2099@reddit

You must not be from the USA if you're even considering a mustang compared to the other two

Scarjotoyboy@reddit (OP)

im from the UK and mustang is rare here but so is a Ferrari and AM lol

[-]

skyeyemx@reddit

Interesting. In my broke and low-class street in urban New York City, I counted five Mustangs, 3 Challengers, and a Camaro, each one a beater in differing states of disrepair.

They're absolutely considered cheap and basic entry-level sport coupes out here in the US. Anyone making more than minimum wage can get a 10-20 year old Stang and wrap it around a tree here.

[-]

neotokyo2099@reddit

Over here you can buy 4-5 mustang 5.0's for the price of that Ferrari Or 3-4 for the price of the vantage lol imo Ferrari is the easy choice. Either way have fun bro

[-]

kollenovski@reddit

Ferarri all day

[-]

Drunken_Hamster@reddit

If they're all gonna have basically the same tires, then you'll feel the most difference between weights and weight distribution. Pick the one that's lightest, or if they're all within 100-200 pounds of each other, pick the one with the most rearward weight bias.

If they're all on factory tires instead of track day tires, do your research and pick the one with the best tires, unless the tires end up being close enough, regardless, in that case refer back to idea A.

[-]

nopester24@reddit

dude, the Ferrari, hands down. you have a lot more opportunities to drive a Mustang than you do a Ferrari. The Vantage is pretty good too but cmon man, its a FERRARI. don't blow this opportunity.

[-]

IlliniOrange1@reddit

Agreed! You can rent a mustang anytime/anywhere and they are pretty common cars (at least in US). It’s not even an exclusive model like a GT500 - just a 5.0. The other two cars are much more exclusive and will deliver memorable track performance you may not be able to experience any other way. I’d go with the Ferrari because it’s a Ferrari, but to each his own I guess.

[-]

fuelvolts@reddit

I mean, it's the "worst" Ferrari, but that's like saying, I don't want to date that supermodel, she's the LEAST prettiest of them all. SHE'S STILL A SUPERMODEL!

[-]

cannedrex2406@reddit

I mean yeah, but the Aston might actually be a better and more enjoyable experience imo.

[-]

huayratata@reddit

Eh fuck that. I’d drive the Ferrari. Dude is obviously not gonna be setting lap records, he’d probably post the same exact time, maybe within 2 seconds of each other at most with all cars if driven. You can go test drive a Mustang any day of the week or rent one for Pennie’s on the dollar on your app of choosing. You can probably convince an Aston owner, especially the one pictured, at a car meet to let you drive his Aston. I’d choose the Ferrari over those 2 any day of the week, no random dude at a car meet even with the “worst” Ferrari is gonna let you drive it or even sit in it and you def aren’t renting out on the streets for much less than what he’s probably paying to track it.

[-]

cannedrex2406@reddit

That's fair. The Ferrari is still cool

[-]

WindWalkerRN@reddit

Thank you! How is this even a question?!

[-]

snekasaur@reddit

Ferrari. I've driven the California and while people knock it for being the entry level Ferrari, it is still very exciting to drive. If not, then Aston.

Mustangs are literally everywhere and you can rent them from almost any rental car company

[-]

xCaboose27@reddit

It really depends on the year of each car. As pictured, I’d honestly say the Vantage. The standard 2015-2017 mustang GT is fun but not super track focused, the California is alright, but it’s the most non-ferrari of the ferraris. The vantage sounds great and is definitely a sporty car, and as long as you don’t own it, it’ll be a great time! This is coming from someone that has driven all three

[-]

NinjaballsHD_@reddit

My advice would be pick the slowest car the mustang has horrible handling and won’t be to much fun

[-]

LeadfootYT@reddit

I’ve driven both the real options here. Vantage if manual, California if auto. Guessing you’re not in the US, because a base Mustang GT is what Jeremy Clarkson would call a hairdresser’s car and no one should pay money to drive one for a day.

If the Mustang is a manual GT350, that would be a different story.

[-]

MrClavicus@reddit

You’ll always regret driving a Mustang over an Aston. Doesn’t matter the feel or performance. It’s a sub 40k car anyone can buy. The vantage is not that. It’s actually special

[-]

bamahoon@reddit

I get what you are saying, but if it's a Vantage similar to what was posted above, that's also a sub-$40k car.

[-]

dildo_gaggins_@reddit

What? The Aston martin starts at 150k new and the mustang is 50k.

[-]

bamahoon@reddit

The one pictured is a nearly 20 year old car that can be picked up for $35k.

[-]

Velocister@reddit

There's a lot more monetary commitment on a $35k 20 year old Aston then a $35k Mustang. If you can only "afford" to spend 35k on a sports car you can't afford the Aston.

[-]

LeadfootYT@reddit

OP is doing a track day, not buying any of these

[-]

Spiderpoopsoup@reddit

I agree at 35k, but cross shopping a new Mustang and old Aston is actually a good comparison. A 20 year old aston martin is a Ford product. Engine built in a Ford factory. Interior is mostly Ford switch gear. It's obvious not going to be as reliable as a new Mustang, but I'd argue it looks much better. With a new well equipped mustang GT costing nearly 60k (even more for the dark horse) you could make an argument a 50k Aston from 20 years ago with 10k set aside for repairs gets you into a much nicer vehicle. Sure the mustang will be faster have modern stuff but looking at autotempest I found a very nice 06 v8 manual vantage with 20k miles for 48k and in my opinion that beats the looks of any mustang in the same price range.

[-]

lique_madique@reddit

Even the new Aston martins depreciate like a brick. You can spend more on a mustang than a used 2018+ vantage

Aston Martin. You don't have to worry about service afterwards.

Too bad they don't have any Porsches for you to pick from - you'd really find out what's up.

[-]

Scarjotoyboy@reddit (OP)

there is a porche, I dont really want it, think they are common and overrated, I don't have to worry about servicing anyway

[-]

chauggle@reddit

It would be the most capable out there on the track, that's for sure. There are more than a dozen variants, so performance can vary. But if you CAN track drive a GT3 or GT2, and you don't, that's a mistake. Definitely not overrated, but they do sell quite a few more than the other brands.

Gallardo is a fun choice - decent car for the track.

[-]

ErrorcMix@reddit

Gt4 is also a good one

[-]

chauggle@reddit

Any GT(x) would be tremendous. Ive had huge fun on tracks with GTS, Turbo, S, 4S, base - you name it - wring it out, it asks for more.

Then you can drive it home.

ErrorcMix@reddit

Yeah I drove the GT4 RS on a track and it was so fun and enjoyable

[-]

chauggle@reddit

Yeah, me too - truly a 'LIFT OFF THE THROTTLE' car as opposed to 'BRAKE' car. There's so much aero, it scrubs tons of speed through the turns as soon as you lift off the throttle.

[-]

emotionaI_cabbage@reddit

You think the Porsche is overrated and common compared to a Mustang? The Mustang can be rented in north America at any rental place. You are overrating it just because you're from the UK. It's really nothing special.

The Ferrari California also sucks but it's a Ferrari.. so yeah.

Porsche or Aston hands down. They'll be the most fun to drive.

[-]

PumpernickelJohnson@reddit

Ferrari. You can always rent a mustang, it's a common vehicle available everywhere. The Aston is the second choice if the Ferrari becomes unavailable .

PTKtm@reddit

It’s a shame because the auto transmission on the V8 vantage was one of its weaker points. Compared to the Ferrari, it’s only a little lighter but much slower and the Ferrari 7 speed dual clutch is surely better than the Aston’s. Either the mustang or the vantage being manual would’ve been redeeming factors but if they’re all auto it’s gotta be the Ferrari.

Yeah good point for sure, I assumed he was in the US, but it looks like he's in the UK based on his other comments. If the mustang is that rare across the pond maybe it's worth giving it a shot! I can count on one hand the amount of V8 Vantage I've seen in the wild.

maz08@reddit

Vantage, you'll never know when the next breakdown is so give it a go while it still starts (I'm being serious, it's a jag engine for the V8). Cali isn't what you want to use on a track day and let's be honest, not all people can handle the mustang on day-one because you'll need another instructor on how to control a car at all times for that.

Safe to say the Aston is the best choice here, just make sure you get the manual one because the auto is like a first-gen automated manual with paddle shifters, they take almost a second to change gears and sometimes refuses to downshift.

[-]

Scarjotoyboy@reddit (OP)

I believe its a semi-automatic

[-]

maz08@reddit

I called it an auto for simplicity sake (autos can also be a semi-auto with gear selector or flappy paddles, not just manuals), it's technically a robotized manual gearbox. Like I said, it's a first gen Graziano gearboxes similar to Ferraris and Lambos at the time, so avoid them unless you're extra chill with their response times.

[-]

BlueFireGuy397@reddit

The California is near the bottom of the list of best Ferraris for most people, so probably not that. The Vantage is therefore the best choice, its a lot rarer and more unique than the Mustang. Probability would say you'd have a much smaller chance of being able to drive the Vantage at any point in your life than being able to drive the Mustang, so take this opportunity.

[-]

Zestyclose_Drummer56@reddit

I’m a die hard Ford guy. My family have always driven Fords and some have even worked for Ford decades ago. My first car was my sisters Volvo and it was great, but when I got enough money, I bought a new Ford. With this in mind, I’d recommend the Aston.

The Mustang is cool and I’d love to drive one some day, but the Aston is far more exotic. The Ferrari California is the lowest tier of Ferrari there is. If it was a 458, I’d recommend it. If it was an F40, I wouldn’t think twice. If it was a 330 P3, I’d start foaming at the mouth.

These cars are better for touring or cruising and not necessarily for the track. I’d probably pick the Aston just for the experience of driving one. The Mustang might provide a more visceral experience on the track.

For the best/unique track day experience, I’d pick something with a rear-mid or rear engine. A Porsche 911, rear-mid engined Ferrari or Lambo.

MonkeyManJohannon@reddit

The Vantage will leave you with a smile and will also fulfill that base line desire to both FEEL and HEAR the car you're tracking. It's exotic in nature and in name, and when you look at it, you probably won't see 15 of them on the way back home in a parking lot or stop light.

Is the Mustang a fun car to Hoon around in? Absolutely, but it's a rear wheel drive V8 car just like the Vantage...but without the exclusivity. You WILL see a slew of Mustang GT's in every parking lot of every shopping center and/or stop light you enter...forever...because they are so so common.

The Ferrari California is a fantastic cruiser/GT...but to be honest, I don't think you'll have as much fun in it on a track. Its bulbous like the other two, but its not proportionality as sporty, and the fact that its a convertible makes it handle wonky (my neighbor used to have one...and its a beautiful car, but even he agrees that it's not a sports car by any means comparatively to other cars of the same cost. He has a newer NSX now that he says is vastly better...I tend to agree, even from a cosmetic stand point).
