Great video guys, I’m in an N430 and absolutely love it. I think Richard is onto a winner with his work and these are excellent cars for road trips, tracks work and that occasional trip to a fancy hotel, gets respect everywhere!

[@sportzntouring]

Thank you for watching!

[@blzebub2]

The wing ruins it.

[@robc9136]

and the bonnet

[@davevan9150]

Not to my taste either, but for once updated wheels don't look out of place.

[@guy5140]

I agree

[@acecin]

It looks alright to me

[@benji6866]

Some of the cars have that wing from factory. It looks nice. Same sort of wing you can get on an f type

[@occasionalquest]

Cool! Nice that someone still likes to use these cars as intended ...

[@dadcars]

If you’ve ever wondered what these guys are like IRL, this is them 😅… that’s why I love these Jayemm & Friends videos

[@sportzntouring]

Awww thanks Ben!

[@Spenny909]

This is one of those dodgy bot accounts that have a guy in skimpy shorts. Beware. 😅

[@JayEmmAndFriends]

😂

[@hondansx1000]

Reminds me of the old V8 Vantage with the X-pack

[@malcholden5357]

Great video. When I retire in about 8 to 10 years a regular Vantage is in my list as well as an R8. I’m favouring an R8 as it’s towards supercar (mid engine). I know there’s many say it isn’t and I couldn’t care less. Same said about my current 360.

[@johnblack9037]

I’ve got an Aston 4.7 V8 Vantage it’s fantastic, it might not be the fastest BUT it does what all supercars/exotic cars should do it makes you feel like a million dollars and it’s such fun and so engaging to drive. I’d take this over any Maserati, Porsche any day, even a lower end Ferrari/Lambo!

[@dlj1285]

A good buddy of mine has one of these cars. Amazing.

[@AaronSMcC]

I love this and the CTR upgrades make it considerably meaner and more purposeful looking. It really is tempting. However, I’d be worried about corrosion which seems to plague Vantages.

[@AntoniusTyas]

Anthony suits V8 Vantage S perfectly. I think ones with Quicksilver straight-piped exhaust with the soundtrack directly from 2017 Le Mans-winning GTE Aston V8 Vantage would suit him very well. GT8 is probably the perfect one but that's still a huge chunk of money.

[@kevinknope4343]

I’ve been following you for quite some time now and I really enjoy your content and the way you describe the experience you have with each car you are reviewing. If you are ever in Florida, US I would be more than happy if you’d like to review my 2019 Shelby GT350. Thanks, Kevin

[@NightfallDrives]

You need a third Ant because, yes, that would indeed be a fleet (in the eyes of many insurers, to use a boring definition!). And that number makes owning a fleet an achievable proposition for many a car enthusiast

[@sportzntouring]

Either way, it would be reasonable to call it a small collection 😅

[@merstrand1]

I own a 2011 V8 4,7S Build by Valiant Ecosse - Full VAP Tune ( close to 485 hp ) I dont want any other car, every drive is an occasion, and I have had for 5 years almost

[@nextechsolutions5955]

Great car and the 1950’s through 70’s US Army utility shirt was cool too. 😎

[@jamesevans7056]

Would be great to see the speccing video with Richard if it happens

[@sportzntouring]

We will definitely post the video if it happens.

[@GadgetyMV]

The AM Vantage is truly a classic design. The video is kind of a CTR sales pitch.

[@zzhughesd]

C

[@sportzntouring]

It wasn't intended as a sales pitch. I genuinely liked it. I didn't think it came across that way. Hope you enjoyed the video nonetheless.

[@GadgetyMV]

@@sportzntouring I did, thank you.

[@STORM3SHADOW]

Always loved the V8 Vantage. It's a timeless design. The only thing holding me back is it's not quite hard edged enough for me. Too much GT car and the V8 leaves you wanting more. I nearly bought a V12 Vantage but it's too front heavy and the running costs are astronomical so I ended up going back to my first choice...a Gen 1 R10 V10 with a gated manual. I still would love to pick one of these up on the cheap as a project car. Do they make a supercharger kit for the V8?

[@jordanrothstein7104]

Not sure if you have peaked around on autotrader recently, but by god. Aston's appear to have found a new low, as low as £10k for a running and working car! Obviously there is the obligatory 'you will spend that per annum as running costs'. But, I find it mental that there is currently a DB9 up for sale under £12,000, and its not a horrendous car either, a much nice one is listed just under it for £20,000!

[@blzebub2]

That 12k DB9 needs a new engine.

[@DaleSteel]

Clown

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

It's an Aston, they come with heavy costs to put things right even using the non franchised garages. The DB9 you speak of is low priced for a reason ... And it's not age or mileage related. If you are looking for a car from this stable, choose wisely, get it inspected and typically the higher the price the better the car as it should come with a whole history of having had work done. Cheaper Aston's are usually cheap for a reason.

[@blzebub2]

@richardharrold9736 Maybe don't buy it?

[@seanscott7120]

napoleon dynamite movie quote - I want that

[@nlxsteve]

I love these V8V’s but the one problem I have is heel/toe for LHD cars. Very hard to do it with the big transmission tunnel in the way.

[@markland_swe]

There are great aftermarket gaspedals that you can install (and very easily at that, two screws) which have are wider and with that the heel and toe becomes rather easy.

[@nlxsteve]

@@markland_swe I have an “ultimate pedal” but my heel will still hit the transmission tunnel. I can theoretically keep it really “skinny” and still blip but the next problem is that the throttle itself is fairly heavy and needs a decent amount of input to get a nice healthy blip. (I’m on a velocity ap tune btw) The AM’s initial throttle blip is very very dead. I’m considering the twin plate clutch upgrade for more throttle blip. For now, I’ve been getting by with “side to side” heel/toe but it doesn’t allow me to threshold brake confidently.

[@richardwalther6229]

The look that inspired the Mustang GTD.

[@PeteAnda]

Love your videos. Still, just like his Audi. He should try an Exige 380 for feel, excitement and edge, plus low running costs.

[@JayEmmAndFriends]

Watch this space!!

[@kyuzotatsuya9641]

Ahh, the fizzz. My first experience was a manual Mivec Mitsubishi FTO, god thats a nice sound. This Aston isn't bad either :P

[@DaleSteel]

Bonnet makes it look tacky AF

[@bonwatcher]

I think it was replaced for the weight savings since it's the carbon fibre V12 Vantage bonnet. For Aston fans it will beg the question if there is a V12 under that when parked.🤔

[@DaleSteel]

@@bonwatcher just don't like it at all.

[@Stallzyx]

Only a few minutes into watching here but why not a GT8 or GT12 or are those a bit out of budget. GT8 is dream garage material for me

[@sportzntouring]

Ahh, I would encourage you to look up their prices 😅

[@seinsmeld13]

3 is a fleet, therefore, I have a fleet🥶

[@anyau]

3-10 is a fleet. Any number over 10 is a collection imo

[@sportzntouring]

Seems reasonable 😅

[@Fioravanti.80]

Recaro have filed for bankruptcy. Not sure about the mods, I'd choose a stock OEM 4.7, with a manual. Couldn't care less about what people thought.

[@sportzntouring]

Ahhh, the old KZbin time vs real time issue. Fyi, this video was recorded months ago. Although, this isn't the first time they've filled for bankruptcy as far as I'm aware so I suspect they will be revived by new owners once the administrative process completes.

[@Fioravanti.80]

@@sportzntouring Hopefully. They produce some of the best seats for cars.

[@kornonacob]

Ant...pls get the f8 tributo....the price is within your range soon.... skip the 488 gtb mate.... just another 10k u can get the f8 .....

[@andrewnewnes7831]

Remove That Wing....

[@kornonacob]

Beautiful car but it needs a supercharger unit

[@QuantumBlu9x]

Nice🎉❤

[@edblair1]

The engine sounds like it's trying to hard to sound cool.

[@tomfurie2996]

I like everything about the car, except the exhaust. Too much like a Mustang GT. And I’m American and have owned 3 Mustangs. It needs to sound more British.

[@tfunkhou88]

That wing is awful…and the splitter isn’t much better

[@robc9136]

dont understand... trying to be something its not. and just looking cheap while doing it.

[@blzebub2]

It's utterly grim.

[@sportzntouring]

Bear in mind this is a development car, rather than a show car or customer car. It takes a beating on various KZbin channels, in road development and on track.

[@utubecomment21]

RICER ... !!!!

[@iainstewart6200]

Blah blah more Aston Martin blah blah, snore zzzzzzzzz
