Cajun is correct, it's an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. They're currently a great bang for the buck IMO. Although it's not a "pure" sports car being that it splits the difference between a sports and GT car, the 6MT and overall look make up for whatever it lacks.

Cue the newspaper cat: I should buy a used Aston Martin.  Edit: Mods remove if not Kosher. Click To View Spoiler Haha, hard to disagree with that ad.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: Thanks. I ordered mine right near the end of the 991.2 run. Had a waited a month, it would have been a 992. But, I didn't like the changes to the rear of the 992, and I really didn't like the new interior ... and since I wanted a GTS, it pretty much had to be a 991.2.  Here it is with the wife's car: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/1715/clean2-877759.jpg I'd have to say I agree with you on the 991 over the 992, although mine is a 991.1

As a tuner myself and aware of LMR’s ability they would know if that’s the case and either mention it or know a way around it. |

Probably correct, if a program can limit it the they can probably get around it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BM-ARM-DPMS-guns: Probably correct, if a program can limit it the they can probably get around it. I did some searching and found this video. They did gain 250 rpm and 20 hp at the tires after 500 miles. This wasn't the first C8 LMR did. They also did one of the first twin turbo setups on a C8, so it's hard to believe they wouldn't know that. Maybe they mentioned it in their video and I missed it. Interesting to note the LMR car did dyno before 500 miles the same as the car in this video AFTER the gains at 500 miles.  Will The C8 CORVETTE Make More Power After 500 Miles? DYNO TEST |

A tiny bit faster 0-60, I think a .5 quicker 1/4 mile wise, And a lot more room interior wise. I am 6.4" I can set the front seat of the CTSV for my self and then still fit behind the driver seat comfortably. There was about a 20k price difference depending on options but I wanted something closer and truer to the size of a early 2000's E46's A tune added 103hp & 97 ft lbs on a completely stock car so that eliminated the power difference between to the two for me. Both are great cars. IMO |

Quote HistoryI hate electric cars, 'cause reasons , but that thing is drop-dead gorgeous. And yeah, i know electric performance cars do 0-60 in like "immediately". But really, it's jaw-dropping beautiful. ETA are you going with a "sto and show" type front plate bracket? I got one for my Challenger, 'cause I just couldn't bear the thought of drilling the front bumper. |
