I'll get more pics of the Aston as time progresses, as it's really been a garage queen and i've only gotten to drive it at night. There is no comparison between the E63 I had and the aston, completely different cars, but i'm very glad with the decision I made. The E63 by the time I was done had 540HP and the car was an absolute beast, but it transferred power differently than you would expect with a 540HP car. When you floor it, before you know it you're doing 120MPH (closed course in Mexico of course) but the sensation wasn't there. In the aston, when you put your foot into it, it feels quick and makes great noises and shifts feel great with the single clutch transmission slamming each gear under WOT (downshift blips are Godly sounding) but you're only doing 90MPH when it's all said and done. The 50/50 weight dist. feels great around corners too, compared to the boat the E63 was. Both cars of course feel solid, and I did do ShiftS3ctor a few times in my E63. I also had a 400HP C55 AMG before my E63 that was tuned by Eurocharged performance, and I am considering flashing the ECU on the Vantage as well to get 400HP out of it. Here are some pics of my C55 and E63 that I had.

Finally another Fire Red owner! There wasnt many in this colour. Mine is a 4.7 and was used by the factory as part of the development/publicity fleet when the 4.7's first came out.
Ive noticed that depending how well you take a picture, photos dont do it justice and can sometimes seem washed out.

Very nice, your car looks great. I actually made a small mistake. My color is not called Fire Red as a friend of mine has told me. I looked up the VIN and found the color code AST1231 which is even more rare, Rathlin Red. The difference is this color is not metallic. I have yet to see another vantage in this color.
