Heavily modified V8 Vantage at full throttle.

Balancing keeping the timeless looks while improving upon almost every component (OEM+) to make it what it should have been from the factory performance wise has been my goal. Purchashing essentially every upgradable OEM+ component available has been the long (and fun) build process!

That said I have also kept the stock sport pack 5 spoke wheels for the track (never happens)

Detomaso, she sounds badass! Sorry if I missed it earlier, but what year V8V? What else besides seats netted you the 200# weight reduction? Was the QS exhaust a big weight savings? Ever dyno it before/after the ECU tune? Does your twin-disk clutch chatter very much? Rated for much more torque than the stocker?
Side-note, do you also have (or had) a Pantera? Hahaa.

Its a 2006, no dyno for tune alone, Velocity AP custom tuned for half day following all mods. Twin disk does chatter at idle a bit, they bumped idle to 950 to eliminate 95% of it...much more torque, it’s OEM for V12.
I grew up working under my dad’s DeTomaso Pantera GTS with him that he bought new in 1973 (74 model year). Car has just under 30,000 original miles and is one of perhaps 50 true GTS’s in the states. It’s the car that got me into cars and the one thing that will be left for me someday. Took the below pictures when visiting them in TN last year.
