Granturismo S to Aston Martin V12 Vantage S - Madness?

So is the AM V12S better noise than a stradale ?


edit - MODS can we have the word Stradale added to the forum dictionary? Who wants to see middle aged man in a straddle

Hmmm... depends how you define 'better', Rob. I think the Strad overall sounds better, but the V12 howl is also intoxicating. Mine has the secondary cats removed, but I keep mulling replacing the clunky old asthmatic original headers with equal-length tubular jobs, which with a bit of a tweak would improve low-end torque and up the power to somewhere over 600 plus give it a bit more of a deeper rumble.

I’ve seen this car up close. It’s quite a bit of kit. And for what it is, what it represents and the differences from the production version, not overpriced imo.

Very nice, and a rare colour. Mine had a couple more option boxes ticked and has done fewer miles, but even allowing for dealer markup I can easily persuade myself that mine hasn't lost too much value in the last three years. Not that I'm selling, but it's all fuel to the man-maths calc.

It says ready for click and collect so I did. I called to arrange collection but apparently they want some money. Hardly click and collect! False advertising.
