Stumbled across this on Zite. Pretty interesting mods to the. V12V:

 

nice, where do you find thees video, keep posting
what mods they did to this one that effect driving ?
correct me if Im wrong but driver is fairly new to the car ?

 

There sure seems to be a lot of cyclists around for that type of driving.

 

Unsafe driving on a public road with so many cyclists really turned me off with this video.

Colors work well for a Porsche, but not for this Aston, imo.

 

Not a fan of race reps on the road

 

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this guy is a bit of an idiot for doing high-speed passes by people on bicycles. Also appears that he bottoms the car out multiple time and slips the clutch. I wouldn't want to buy this car after he's done with it.

Anyway, the gulf thing can be cool, but I think it was taken too far in this case. The rear wing and the front winglets are terrible IMO and really detract from the look of the car.

 

What a tool. Not only does he do high speed passes past the cyclists, it looks like he makes a point of pinning the throttle every time he sees one ahead.

Anyone know which exhaust he has?

 

It shows all mods in the description on the you tube post. Not familiar with the company and unsure if a tune and exhaust nets 70hp....

 

The exhaust does sound quite good.

 

Quite a dic@, I make a point to back off and keep the exhaust note at a minimum when near cyclists. Obviously someone who has more money than brains.

 

~3500 miles, burns oil at start up, and driven like a "vaginal cleanser" is behind the wheel. About the only thing positive for me, was the exhaust note.

I suspect this Brian Zuk person is the driver, since his name is on the video and his Facebook page implies these are of his doing.

I'm always over cautious near anyone on a bike, no matter if it is powered by a person or engine. I was a bit skeptical of the power improvement claims, too. Stuart, do you want to weigh in on those?

 

Just my opinion, but aren't you guys over-reacting a bit? That bike lane looks like it's 10ft wide and the cyclists are riding very close to the edge of the road and far away from the car. I make a point of moving far away from cyclists when I'm driving, but this guy looks like he already has plenty of room.

Also, the video is pretty well made and the exhaust sound is pretty spectacular. I don't even mind the Gulf livery. It really does look like a street-legal racecar. The exhaust note matches the looks, which is nice because a lot of cars with these race-inspired themes don't sound like a real racecar when they startup and drive off—and that is when you look more like a tool (all show, no go).

Pretty awesome, IMO.

 

There may be a bit of piling on here, but I still think the driver is an *** for driving like that around the cyclists. Even if the cyclists were safe, I'm sure they didn't appreciate this guy driving by them at full throttle with a loud aftermarket exhaust. Unlike many other cars, people still like Astons. If we all drove like this, that would probably change pretty quickly.

 

I couldn't listen to those up-changes any more. Almost every time he's about half a second slow at lifting the throttle, so it's clutch in - revs rise - lift throttle - change. Clutch won't last much longer with that treatment.
