about 5 sec 0-60 and runs 1/4 in over 13 sec.
At 70k you're better off with a much newer Jag or used GT-R

My dad has the V8 Vantage. With 380 HP, I refer to it as "quick" but not exceptionally fast. It goes 0-60 in about 4.7 seconds. He can still have fun with it, without paying fines for triple digit speeding tickets lol
That car is not about going super fast, it's a blast to drive and it handles like a slot car. Paid half...HALF...what the car was sticker for brand new. It had about 3,500 miles on it when he bought it.
If you've driven a GT-R or been in one before than you know it's actually a pretty boring car. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love them, but most of the time it drives like a Nissan Maxima. If you are looking for a track beast and something that accelerates like the millennium falcon, yes, the GT-R is the car for you lol.
Plus, the maintenance costs on GT-R's are wild....the special differential fluid it takes is very expensive IIRC.
