However, if the sound is not overly invasive then I guess I can suffer the extra power

That's what the backbox switch is for! You'll be able to drop it right down when you want to, and then right up when needed

so have i got this right... the intial improvements were JUST on manifolds and close coupled upstream cats...ie the great big lumpy bit that we saw at the BR open day...if so then FFS what ever is it going to be like once the 200 cells are fitted...mate we need a new word...EPIC is going to be so insufficient

If I understand correctly, the improvement to 565bhp included new cams too ? Still mighty impressive.....

Sorry didnt make myself clear I was referring to...
Quote Cockernee
Headline numbers from the exhaust are +33BHP so from 507 to 540 BHP @ 7000rpm

Torque up 40Nm across the rev range & 591Nm @ 6100rpm

Plus then the cams...up to the next step...and then 200 cell cats...mind boggling...but VERY tempting

I hope esteemed members realise that every time Cockernee endeavours to access the porn channels on t'interweb, his computer automatically resends his last posting.

That's why we call him Cock-er-nee.

Just a thought

OK, the headline numbers with cats changed surprisingly not as much as anticipated. We expected another 10bhp, but only managed 5 bhp over runs. The only difference is the noise it makes now is slightly louder and deeper, so will post up on youtube a new clip.

The car has maxed out at 570BHP & 600Nm of torque.

So that is it folks, tomorrow I drive it and get to see the graphs that I will post up.

Shame the new Vanquish could only make 565bhp really I will be able to do a back to back test with them both

Any new numbers me ole china ?

570bhp?!



Bonkers.

It will be very close to the original 'V12 Vantage RS' prototype then.

Should be savage.

Would you like someone (ie me!) to come and film it for you?

Could even offer a back to back comparison (maybe side by side would be better!) with my slow old bog standard car!

If you are around tomorrow about 1.00pm, I am picking it up then.

Enjoy the collection today
I hope the weather improves for you.

Very gracious offer John, don't think I can sort it out today. Perhaps another time and I'll bring up my car for comparison.

I'm also interested in having something similar done (tuning always slips nicely under Mrs P's radar!).

However I also think that your first drive in a 570bhp V12 Vantage is a moment for you and the car alone.

More people have walked on the moon than driven a car of that spec!

Enjoy.

I look forward to your reports and hopefully videos.

[v8woollie]

Sounds phenomenal John. And the sun is shining for your collection day Look forward to some more vids and the new sound.

Weather is good down here Mikey. I shall be setting off around midday to meet Cockernee and Mike for some lunch and a chat . By that time both Adam's car and the Vanquish will have been driven as if they have been stolen

Excellent work!

Not had my phone call from Cockernee yet....

Maybe He is speechless or perhaps STILL driving his car!!

He's probably stopped off and done a quick bank job to pay for it all. A quick blag, hide the shooter, a bundle of used fifties, a few veiled threats, an affectionate slapping of the face whilst using the phrase 'me old china', some jellied eels, praise for the Kray Twins and everyones a winner.

I know these Cockernees ya' see. He never done nuffink, right?
