RE: Prodrive boosts AM Vantage V8

[GetCarter]

Sorry if this has been asked before... but would I be right in assuming that the Prodrive upgrade would void the Aston Warranty?

According to the people I talked to at Long Stratton this is indeed the case.

They are negotiating to try & sell the product via Aston dealers with the warranty intact, if this doesn't come off (lets face it Aston is for sale)Prodrive will offer their own warranty to cover those parts invalidated by the conversion.
It is a good point Get Carter, we were all of the opinion that it would need to be longer than a year if it turned out to be Prodrives own warranty.

Aston never even knew the pack existed until Prodrive announced it, they were not consulted at any stage during it's development, or even given the courtesy to be told it was happening, and as such, I would be suprised if they would offer to sell it through the dealers with the warranty intact.

Not saying they won't, just be suprised.

Along with grant3 I was lucky enough to try the Prodrive goodies recently and would concure with his assessment. One fly in the ointment re. any warranty tie up with AM/Prodrive may be the fact that I wouldn't be too suprised to see AM themselves produce a more powerful V8 shortly.

2007 AMV8 will be out, which they have already promised will have more power

Do you have a source for this? The AM V8 is one of the cars I am seriously considering for next year.

[GetCarter]

I have an order in for one, but it's never been confirmed that it will actually be built (but it will!)

But surely the 2007 V8 is already out, and it hasn't got 'more power'??

Good point, I think it will come in for the 2008 model year which will be around September next year.

cross talk... I have the order in for the vantage S (or vantage vantage) or whatever. The one they should have made first time out.

Lets meet back here in 12 months and we can discuss what happened in 2007
