I have a 2017 GT350 and a V12 Vantage 2011 both manual and the best way I can describe the identity of the Aston Martin is it's a European mustang wearing a tuxedo! It is Raw, not refined and will want to bite you at every turn. An absolute blast to drive! Mine also sounds alot like this one with an extra 120HP!

[@RacingHeartMedia]

Damn I must say that v12 sounds glorious 😮😮😮

[@tommyboyz6291]

Literally and Ironically, DB7 is one of the most beautiful car in the whole worlds...still my #1 dream car til this day.

[@destinationlimbo378]

Define ironic

[@simonwright6163]

Why ironically?

[@Powersproductions130]

The DB9 actually did have a relatively rare manual option, they weren’t automatic only.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

I stand corrected! Didn't actually know that. Or at the very least, figured there were only maybe less than 30 like the SV and 599. Seems like there's around 900 total worldwide according to Collecting Cars and a couple of other sources.

[@jacklee7104]

Yeah, they do come up for sale occasionally & under 25k in the UK ​@@RoadsUntraveled

[@sprezzatura8755]

Db7 is the car that saved Aston Martin.

[@CaptainMir]

Ahh great sound boys

[@mattmisanthropy.]

Going to have to disagree with you. I think this looks WAY better than the later models. It's a simpler 90's shape, and that's what's appealing to me. Maybe tone it down on making statements as if it's final and not subjective. You do that a lot in your videos, which is the only reason I bring it up.

[@johnjaguar4272]

Absolutely agree with you. I do not normally make comments but being an DB/ owner I can see this guy has absolutely no idea. Probably he learned about cars in video games and then he learned to make reviews to make money. But this statements he does are very disrespectful for the real Petro heads. He knows and he does not care cus he do money but when people are interested in such beautiful cars, it kinda hurt to see someone giving terrible false information to a potential buyer.

[@Veka550M]

100% agreed. I think Vanquish looks like a pornstar that had some work done too, exaggerated features, vulgar, in comparison to the absolutely natural stunning 10 that DB-7 is, followed closely by DB-9 and the Vantage from its era.

[@bossbod3163]

New ones don’t look as good! And the new dashboards I have where the speedo and everything is looks terrible

[@DanielBall]

Reminds me of my V12, never heard another Aston like it!

[@user-yz1zt1nq1p]

This channel has the best cars.

[@loicdore39]

Sounds much better than the later V12 vantage

[@GeordsYouTube]

i once owned a Mitsubishi FTO and it was mistaken for this car by some non car people lol

[@brandonshriver6448]

“It wasn’t popular”?? This is the car that brought Aston back from irrelevance. In Aston Martin’s entire history before the DB7, they made a total of fewer than 10,000 cars…. They made over 7,000 DB7s.

[@adrianharrison5208]

I think he was talking about the i6 engine

[@joeymcquilkin3670]

11:57 I was literally just about to say from the side&back looks like a mix between a jaguar and viper! So crazy - sounds amazing and I love the headliner too.. the smoked headlights look like ass though, should put a better grille in too and get rid of that mesh

[@MichaelKogelnik-c1r]

what exactly did you do to that exhaust? sounds fantastic

[@ArnaudFlamant-dy4bx]

Yes I would love to do that on my db7 vantage. Witch sport exhaust did you get? Thank you very much 🙏😁

[@clintonsnell1356]

Yes I own this car with a manual Perth Australia. Mine doesn’t sound this. How can I get my car to sound so amazing as yours? Could you explain your exact set up please. Need that sound.

[@racingnobudget92]

@@clintonsnell1356 need X pipe , secondary cat delete . 4 inch midi pipe ,down to 3 to 2.7 to 2.5 . So you will have classic F1 sounds

[@mfpv_detroit8182]

Sounds like pure love

[@LooseJuice96]

Crazy that putting 2 Ford Taurus engines together does that

[@brandonshriver6448]

It’s not that though, it was a ground up purpose built V12.

[@guguigugu]

the seating position is higher and the suspension is softer because its a grand tourer, meant for long drives with comfort and speed, not a track day car

[@jezebulls]

I’m not sure which I like more, the v10 LFA or this…

[@Drifty325i]

Very cool, especially for the $

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Best value manual transmission V12? I think so.

[@Drifty325i]

@@RoadsUntraveled got to be! the sound alone is worth the admission

[@drebarthelotte5712]

Great video. Amazing how that sounds. The tuning of the engine is very capable. Not any fake bmw/Hyundai pops and bangs. I don't like fake things. When you own a car modded by your own hands you'll know. I've built a few cars. Ate watched TV and ported and polished the head replaced guides. No float till 9200 beehive springs. Yeah I really like this one. It's a great gt not get in poo fast.😊

[@AaronConcepcion]

subbed! pls feature more cars like this! i love the classics. 💯💯💯

[@AaronConcepcion]

yeah that aston makes enough power. plus it's a manual! 💯💯💯

[@allanb3222]

Sounds insane!!!

[@Nathan93Baker]

Rear tail light panel is a different color.

[@rcravincase]

The e brake looks a tad awkward, maybe thats why the driver sits higher

[@jacquevaughn7826]

sounds like a zonda

[@v10cylinder]

Check engine light is on?

[@Stratoszero]

It’s a 90s-2000s Ford product, comes as standard.

[@v10cylinder]

@@Stratoszero LOL 😄

[@v10cylinder]

@@Stratoszero PS: I once had a 2002 Ford Excursion V10. I was quite satisfied with it actually (never had the check engine light on...). Sold it in 2014 and still miss it. Thinking of getting another one but they are hard to find in Europe...

[@petrolhead8851]

Damn that thing sounds fucking insane!!!

[@footnfan]

Are the back up lights on when you brake?

[@davidgriggs3967]

I'm the same , if it's not sketchy it's not fun . My wife refuses to drive my project street car , she says I see how much trouble you have keeping it in a straight line going quick I won't be able to do that.

[@philbegas]

what is that exhaust setup it's insane

[@guywyles3801]

Is this exhaust available to purchase or was it fabricated as a 1 off by the owner?

[@racingnobudget92]

is 1 of 1

[@JohnGabbana-ks8mk]

That’s the regular exhaust?

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

@roadsuntraveled , curious if this exhaust has an x pipe or is just straight back ?

[@RoadsUntraveled]

If I remember correctly my friend Jerry did a custom X-pipe for it.

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

@@RoadsUntraveled thanks!

[@joeziadan]

Is it just me or do these sound better than the later models like the DB9? Like more high pitched maybe

[@koolkev75]

That’s gangster 🔥🔥🔥

[@mikeypv6]

It sounds like an Aventador

[@bopinthewap]

A DCT or a ZF HP8 would give that old v12 what it deserves.

[@CarToneHK]

DB7 was the only car with this engine that had equal length headers from factory, so all the later cars won't sound this good

[@adrianharrison5208]

Have to totally disagree with your opinion when it comes to the looks of this car, Its definitely one of the best looking Aston Martin models ever

[@SunnySavon]

Can you put a Headphone noise warning or something in the intro 😮😅 my volume was too high for that straight piped v12 (no jokes lol)

[@VADORT]

IMAGINE THAT CAR WITHOUT TOP

[@TheAdam92ea]

4:33 srsly Man? This must look tragic irl if you put so blured clip on your vid...😂😂😂😂

[@omerkhan9286]

LMFAO you gotta do what you gotta do for sponsors

[@rotarypower956]

You and and Dude in Blue are my fav car reviewers. This thing is nasty.

[@Astonman]

I prefer the V8V with a sports exhaust.

[@nicholasstocker8864]

Sounds like a Murcielago!

[@winstonjohnson2340]

Oh My God Man!

[@johnjaguar4272]

With all due respect, a DB7 cannot be compared to any of America muscle cars. Is better put together, despite having a base Jaguar XJS and the Hand Made "failing details" this is an amazing car. The DB7 GT version has an mazing upgrade in the suspension and it is a great handling car. You generalise that is not a pretty as the later Astons. and that your opinion of course but how can you even dare to compare? They are different platforms!!!. You find there is not a lot of mechanical drive… Of course.. it has a base chassis of the Jag XJS… You have no idea what you talk about, get the information first. The people who really knows consider the DB7 one of the most beautiful Astons ever made. It was designed by Ian Callum, you know that right? Terrible review , me being a DB7 owner I find your review very poor, you have bad taste to compare this car with a muscle car. Any muscle car you name does not come any closer... if you consider the package this car has. Better review Toyota and mustangs and let this type of cars for Men not for boys. Is not perfect... which car is? Terrible content...

[@bossbod3163]

He should have left everything original

[@Astonman]

It’s the wrong sound track for the DB7. It’s now two separate cars. A DB7 and a DB7 with noise. They don’t go together.

[@nigelwest3430]

I was working for Aston Martin when the DB7 (Based on the Jaguar XJS) was unveiled, I don't understand why people say it is so beautiful, I didn't like it then and I still don't.
