What are the limits of the AMV8 Vantage?

[rmrmd1956]

On my supercharged 2007 AMV8 with 6.8 psi boost and stock motor and exhaust I've got 519HP and 378TQ at the wheels.

cool ..and most impressive of course ...although I will be even more impressed if you come back in another 50K miles and tell us how well its running too

That's a lot of power! Could you post photographs of your car for us to enjoy?

Are you sure that's rear wheel power? Or is it estimated flywheel power?

I would assume the latter as that's a good 140bhp more than standard.

If it were the former, you'd be looking at a lot more flywheel bhp (probably 600bhp ish).

No idea how far it could go. Only one way to tell for sure (but that's expensive!)

In addition to potential longevity issues of the drive train, I wonder if the brakes and other chassis components are up to that level of power...

Will be genuinely interested to hear how you get on with the car though....may stop me going back Italian next year!

Nice little power step at 3500 rpm. Good for either spinning the wheels or stopping the heart (or both) depending on the circumstances. Might you have that mapped out or is it too much fun ?
