Out of four GTs so far (yours plus those three), three have been manuals and one has been Sport Shift. ASTON MARTIN TAKE NOTE!!

And the only Sportshift was spec'd that way by the dealer, not by a customer.

Smile New to forum with a GT

I'm new to the forum but I have been following the aston forum for about 3 years now.
I had to say something cause after viewing the photos of the build, I'm pretty sure that the one in front of Karlfranz was mine....
I ordered mine with the graphics pack and with a 6 speed...only way!

I took delivery yesterday, and all i can say is wow...what a color combo. You either love it or hate and most peoples reactions have been very welcoming.

Mods: The dealer swapped out my velocity exhaust and 200 cell cats (thanks Stuart for the info) to the GT from my 2011 S....

My dealer has only received my car and they are supposed to receive a second car in a few weeks (convertible speedway white sportshift pretty maxed out).
As Karl mentioned a sportshift ordered by the dealer itself.

Pics of my GT and 2011 S

Here are a few shots of mine. I have to get better photos. The last pic is them swapping the exhaust.

Just thinking: I doubt yours was the one in front of mine in the assembly line because yours is already here and mine won't get here until Sept. 22nd.

Yeah, I thought about that too. I didn't realize you haven't received yours yet.
Either way, I think you will be happy with yours as well. The alloro green is a beautiful color. It is stunning actually and hard to describe.

So the blue S on the lift next to the GT is your old car, right? The funny thing is it looks like my old Vantage that I just sold:

yes, that is my old S. It is lightning silver underneath. I wrapped it about two years ago. With a black stripe with the union jack. The dealer kept it as is.

And here is a picture of the regular vantage I traded in for the S. Funny it looks like the GT now.
