Well, after having my V8V for 18 months it's now gone. I have to admit it never really did it for me somehow.
No more shouting "come on car" !

Probably not many AM owners fall out of love with their cars, but you clearly want more power.Enjoy your Nissan.
Keep in mind the following quotation, and who knows, in the future the V12VS might suit you better.
"Being British and loving cars means I have a special place in my heart for Aston Martin. Maybe it's the fact they're built in the UK, maybe it's the Bond thing... I don't know, but I love them. The look of an Aston -- strong haunches, swan doors and ‘that’ grille - makes me go all wibbly. It's so graceful, so beautifully styled and so ... charming."

Thank you.Enjoy your Nissan.
The more power was the thing. I think having a Noble M12 did not help really. 350bhp in a car that's only about 1050kg, so a 4.3 V8V was not powerful enough for me. I don't drive fast but I just like to have that power available if I want it.

V12V didn't appeal? Definitely gets the 'push in the back' tick in the box 
Yes and no. Price was out of my range. If it had been in range then I would have certainly considered one. I did think seriously about a Gallardo, but I was terrified of monster bills, especially looking at the age of car I could run to.Although the AM is a great car, it just wasn't the car for me (regardless of the size of Jockman's penis !!).

I think that about sums it up for me so I'm confined to the AM brand but I'd certainly like more power.... and a larger penis!I hope it brings you a lot of enjoyment. Have fun Adrian.

Be aware that monster performance always results in monster bills. A good friend of mine runs a GTR and the costs can be eye watering. At the end end of the day it's a big, heavy and powerful car - it'll eat through consumables with ease.....Although the AM is a great car, it just wasn't the car for me (regardless of the size of Jockman's penis !!).

Risky to mention that on here, Jules.
Some very enthusiastic drivers, will persuade you to visit a descendent of Mr. Robert Bamford (with cheque book in hand). Your engine will be invigorated, you suspension will get a good talking to, and the exhaust pipes will be permitted free speech.
After that, Aston Martin will introduce a faster model, and you will be saying, "but I'd certainly like more power..." ->
