Not all that quick 0-100; a well fettled Griffith 500 (most make well under the claimed 340bhp, but good, tuned ones make 320) and any subsequent TVR is faster in a drag race as they are the same weight or lighter but with more power. Most modern Porsche 911s are as quick too.
The Aero's appeal, to me, is in the way it delivers the power - it feels fast because it sits so low, and the noise and sustained, flat torque curve make it a joy to drive.
And also, while it may not be as quick as a TVR in a straight line, you need a Sagaris to stay with an Aero in the bends. Awesome handling - this, not the speed, is what sold me on the car. If I just wanted raw speed and special looks, I'd have bought a Tuscan II convertible and RAC membership.
