Ford issued a major recall on the Mustang

topless DB9 makes sense as its a grand tourer. topless 430 not so much.


edit: how many bhp is that DB9 putting out icepac?

im happy you got the 430 in red. i swear ferraris are the only car that looks good in red. even your camaro in my opinion would seem better in a dark blue or black over the red. but my opinion only <S>

LOL

It isn't my Ferrari or Aston.  Mine is the cheap American one. 

Sorry if I gave that impression.

It is the first sports car I ever owned and only the second new car.  It just didn't seem right to get anything but red.  <shrug>

if you dont think the DB9 is sexy you need to get your eyesight checked ...

 i like the hardtop db9. the ragtop kills the lines.

[CAP1]

Yea, both the Ferrari and the Aston look 1,000% better with the tops down.

I don't have a shot of the DB9 with it down at the office, but this is what the Ferrari looks like:

Frankly I HATE rag tops.  They can make any nice car look like sh*t

 looks better with the top down.....but honestly, i've never cared for ferraris. your car still looks better, and if either of them were offered to me for free....i'd take the ferreri, sell it, buy a mustang, and a camaro, and bank the left over money.

Not completely finished with the aston yet because it is a ford modular engine running on a Siemens ecu with very little tuning support available.........which is important since this car has a sequential manual transmission (not a glorified automatic but a true clutched manual that is servo shifted.)

It is similar to the EECVI but only slightly.

EECVI on top and siemens on bottom.





The engine tuning is easy but there is a bit of a learning curve in getting the car to not flag a code when it senses more torque than the ecu expects.

yea.....admittedly, i like em both. probably would make some ford purists have a seizure, but they're both good looking cars.

the DBR9 ran a seq manual, and with lots more torque than the road car. might be worth looking at what ecus they were using

Seriously.... you guys spawn these threads faster than a newlywed Italian couple pops out a Mario or Maria.

 awww c'mon....they're fun/

I don't have anything against mustangs but in my mind the 2010 Camaro is a better looking car.

Here is mine on a driveway with a Ferrari 430 and an Aston Martin DB9.  

It doesn't look too out of place.

The 430 was my wet dream car as a small boy then the 599 came out along with the Lamborghini Balboni.
