Hey guys, this is my new V8 Vantage.
When I got collected it she was bone stock and a really tidy well maintained example and not grey so I was over the moon with my purchase.
The only downside was it was really quiet and not overly quick in comparison to my Porsche 996 C4S (not running standard power)
Pretty much straight away I booked it in for a custom remap and removal of the secondary restrictive cats to give it the exhaust note it was missing as well as a few extra ponies, these mods transformed the car!!
Stock power was 390bhp, cat removal 402bhp and custom software 425bhp.
What software did you use to tune the engine, and which high flow cats did you install. The Collection (Miami) has a self tuning package as well as the cats for approx $2600. With the added high flow air filters, they claim 465 hp on the 4.3 V8. I just ordered the BMC air filters and plan to do the same upgrades you just completed. Would like to see if you had a cost savings over what I found at the Collection.
I don't believe that there is anyway you can get 465hp at the crank from a 4.3 with cats, high flow filter and a tune. That engine is 380hp from factory, on the other hand it could be achieved with a 4.7 which was 420hp from factory, and those are all crank hp not wheel hp. Check Velocityap, they have tune, cats and high flow filters...
My girl waits for Spring. I'm not aware of any other '10-'11 6sp manual DB9 Volante in the US. I'm sure there's a handful. Just never seen any in the used market.
2011 DB9 Volante, Tungsten silver
Kestrel tan leather, and a proper 6 speed manual.
