I dont like old cars at all. Really cant stand them. But a Screaming Chicken? Hell yes. Smoky and the Bandit days.

I am looking at this Vantage to help the OP get it perfect tomorrow. I am sure he will provide additional pictures showing the progression of his new purchase. Look forward to seeing it. Its very sharp and great looking.

If it was old American it better say Boss or Hemi, screaming chickens usually came stock with about 180HP [not that you couldn't add a few if you wanted, and I'm sure this one has a few more ponies!]


How long you back in DC?

I would love to see some more pics of the splitter/skirts/diffuser on your car with better lighting when you have a chance. Looks great!

I may be here permanently. Should change out my profile location sometime. I have a 92' Mustang 5.0 conv that my father drives every now and then. Never been a Hemi or Mopar guy. Really a Vette guy, but as I got older I went more refined

I look at the Op's Vantage tonight and its really nice. Has normal issues here and there and the previous owner swirled it up mostly all over. But, i should have the car sometime in the next few weeks to get the paint perfected and will be able to closely get pics of the CF once polished back up.

I am pretty sure they are all VColl parts, but maybe some older designs. The rear Diffuser stuck out a bit, which I think most of theirs now fit closer to the body lines. I also or at least it appears the CF quality has increased greatly since possibly back to 07-08 timeframe. Mine are stellar CF work. This is nice but not the same IMHO. Maybe after polishing it back up it will pop more and show the weave better. We will see. But the car overall is really nice. I advised several processes and things to take care of soon. Will let OP speak to those items and his way forward.

How about T/A inspired "snowflake" wheels on a V12 Vantage?
