Awesome, quite possibly the best aftermarket wheels I've ever seen on an Aston!

Jeff,

Have you had your car dynoed? If so what was the number and have you compared your car to a 4.7?

For what its worth, the 4.7 makes 348rwhp and 293rwtq on a dynojet.
4.3 makes 308rwhp and 240rwtq --- ballpark figures.

Haven't had the car dyno'd yet. RSC has dyno on a similar setup I believe. Maybe Stewart or Herschel can post the numbers. They tell me my gains with ECU re-map, 200 cell cats, cat back exhaust, and N400 air intake; should add about 40-50hp, maybe more.

I have driven both the 2009 and mine (after the mods); and mine is the faster. And the exhaust sound is fantastic. RSC really helped me dial in the sound that I was looking for; much more aggressive than stock but not abrasively so. Not too loud to hear and enjoy the stereo at low volume swhile cruising.

Thanks much to everyone for the positive comments on the car. Its taken a while to get this accomplished; and I appreciate the responses.

Next up: the re-map (RSC) of the sports transmission.

Jeff
