I too have a 2013 manual Vantage. Mine's an S rendered in BRG over chestnut hides. Keep that fuse in place and get a Fabspeed X-Pipe (secondary cat delete) for the best sound and a 5-10% HP bump. Your exhaust is valved so it's quiet below 80 mph (or 3,500 RPM's). Good luck with ownership and welcome to the club!

Love your BRG color. Do you have any other photos with interior shots? Did you custom order it?

I found this car when I was searching to replace my 2007 Goodwood Green Vantage. It was spec'd by the Aston Martin in Washington DC. I'm the original owner... I've since replaced the carpets with a set that I had custom made.

Beautiful speced car. If you ever want to sell it, let me know. I love my Volcano Red (2013 V8 6speed) , but been thinking about green /brown car not specific to Aston, but something really nice.

Thanks for the really nice compliment. This photo was taken 7 years ago... the NYC skyline has dramatically changed since then.

Oh man, that is a beautiful color combo. Very classy. Also, I really wanted a 2103 V8VS. I believe it was the first year the S came in a manual. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one that fit what I was looking for.

I will most likely be searching for an exhaust. I'm really interested in the high pitch f1 sound. This V12S got the full Velocity AP Kit. Do you know if the V8s will sound like this?

Check out this amazing you-tube video of the Fabspeed X-Pipe sound on a V8 Vantage S.

It sounds so good you may wet your pants!

Holy Hell. This is by far one of the best videos featuring an Aston Martin I have come across. Still not the F1 sounds from the V12S, but it has got me hooked!

Here is my complaint with Aston Martin......It doesn't have a very good presence amongst the exotic car scene or aftermarket scene. I'm constantly blown away by how big the Lambo and Ferrari mod scene have become. It's great advertisement for them. Some are over the top with the twin-turbo, wide-body, rear bumper removed, etc. So many people shoot short videos like the one you posted with those cars, very few for the Aston. Aston Martin has been in financial hardships for so long and it's almost comical how many owners it has had. Nevertheless, something about these cars just gravitates me to them. Also, their merchandise needs some improvement. Can't really find too many different varieties of good looking shirts etc.

Aston is a conservative company and the cars are understated (for now)... but stay tuned.

Enjoy the picture of you watching it roll out of the enclosed carrier. I can feel the excitement. Like a grown man’s Xmas morning. Very nice car.
