Mohammed, nice write up and pics. I do not really like white cars but that white f40 that was floating around the boards not long ago has turned my feelings a bit. This AM is also quite nice.
I love the low speed creep idea. Wish Ferrari had thought of that!

Sure, it could use a little more power, but overall the car is great.

As for sending it to Prodrive, I probably won't do it. If I crave more performance, I will end up getting a more focused car to go along with the Vantage. I was looking for a GREAT daily driver; and I've found it.

Chris, thats kind of my thinking on it. I have a other go fast cars and want a great looking car that handles well and covers my driving/comfort/aesthetic needs. And as you mentioned, its a great sounding car and with the tubi, its one of the best exhaust notes on the market.
