A question to the OP; was the parcel shelf removed for that recording?

You can see the benefit of the twin plate clutch and I assume a lighter weight flywheel than in the V8V. Changing gear with a thumb and two fingers smile

I was hoping this would inspire John to get his finger (and video camera) out!

One day I'd like to get the two cars together for some comparison video too, that is if I don't get the BR manifolds done on mine first.

No parcel shelf wasn't removed and I made no proper effort to capture the sound either. I tried that but couldn't tell much difference on my car.

I'd have loved to do more exterior shots but was convinced someone would pinch my camera!

Yes gearchange is very slick on the V12 Vantage. Best cable operated box I've ever used by miles.

Much appreciate the positive comments. But overall I'm amazed how few remotely decent videos there are of the V12 Vantage, or many cars for that matter. I know I can do much better than this but it's finding the time and decent weather. We are getting very near the end of 'corsa' season!

The problem with exterior mounts is the wind noise, ruins everything. I use a countour HD, but have to dub over music, which is not ideal in a V12V as the sound is the deal.
