2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Exhaust Note - Car and Driver

[Nickmaster26]

I have a 2007 mustang gt with a full exhaust, headers etc...my old man has an 06 vantage, there is no sound comparison at all. The Aston is a beautiful machine, perfectly built and great to look at

[SuperSirGEO]

i cannot concur with some ppl. this v8 sound is not better than other cars price wise. maserati gran turismo is better. r8 i think is better. even c63 amg is better.

HOWEVER THIS CAR IS AWESOME ASS SHITTT!!!

i just rode in one of these not 10 minutes ago...it looked just like this. I fell in love.

[oddguy314]

I will give up sex to listen to this exhaust note while driving to school! hehe

[usurpia]

God I love that noise!! I've hired this car for my wedding day and got it the day before. I've driven it all day like this and it never get's old :-)

Love it!

i doubt people that actually owned aston martins would be wasting their time on youtube looking at videos of cars they see and drive every day. that being said the comment about the mustang; its true a timex or atomic watch can tell time better than a rolex but at the end of the day you still have a timex. a mustang regardless of its heritage and its has american muscle roots only MSRP's at 15k. hardly a "dream" car if its affordable

[xSijUx]

@xchrisbobisx yea we're very bored people. thats why we buy nice cars. to enlighten our life by just a little bit. ;P

[nicefella33]

mustang....seriously....not even in the same league...trailer to estate comparison!

[BillMassey94]

You can hear where the exhaust valves open, take the fuse out !!

[StuRaz]

The fuse is better in for long journeys but when you just want a drive it's nice with the fuse out. Although recently I've grown to like driving around waiting for it to open, adds to the thrill a bit.

[alex131194]

@StuRaz  not even that loud without the fuse taken out its just louder startin gup cold..

[StuRaz]

At full throttle it's the same anyway. When it's out it can get tiresome on long journeys.

[alex131194]

@StuRaz sorry but for me that noise never gets tiresome, its got to be the best sounding V8 ans Stock exhaust around...

[StuRaz]

I don't mean boring. Have you ever been on a highway/motorway in one at a constant speed for hours with the fuse out? If you just take it out for a drive with the fuse out it's great, but on long journeys it just turns into a drone which the active exhaust prevents when the fuse is in.

[alex131194]

@StuRaz Ye m8 my dad has AMV8R with Fuse 22 Removed, weve gone to a skiing resort in it and it really isnt that tireing. Its not that loud compred to a Ferrari 360 which when we were next to him [Idle] the bloody floor was vibrating.. :L

[StuRaz]

Okay, if you think so then fair enough. I took my Grandads AMV8 to York a few months back (I'm from the North West) and I found it more comforting to drive on the motorway with the fuse in. When you're really going for it on a quiet road it makes no difference if it's in or out anyway.

Funnily enough he used to own a 360 and yeah that was always loud, despite the active exhaust. Someone down my road has a black 360CS, that noise is phenomenal.

[alex131194]

@StuRaz  Ye all true :L

[StuRaz]

Are you being sarcastic?

[alex131194]

@StuRaz nah joking :L

[StuRaz]

If you don't want to believe me then fine. I don't know what is unbelievable about what I'm saying.

[alex131194]

@StuRaz *** It would get soooo tiresome if you had the ferrari then i totally agree but Aston without the fuse = Perfect Noise Level even 4 long journeys.

[tmat04]

@alex131194

Not quite! Have you forgotten about a car called Alfa Romeo 8C? But all Aston sound fantastic also.

[jonzdad1]

sounds great!

[premierAB]

prices of a astin martin vs. a mustang rofl alot ...

[slobowitz]

Lovely car, but get it with stickshift.

[drivepro]

HA HA HA.

[BigE003S]

i would have never guess, but then when i get on the gas hard in my truck it does sound a lot more like a sports car. not that is sounds like this but u know what i mean.

[KurdRaw]

I love that green color

[MrGavinEllis]

lol good one drivepro

[alx917]

love this car

[drivepro]

it sound just like a 05 chevy Malibu....

[gkougianos]

fail

[drivepro]

i see your not familiar with sarcasam...

[rodro5]

excelent sound!!

[mazda6tuner99]

exactly man, why would u pay so much for a car thats not fun to drive. id rather have a cobra with an 8000$ kenny bell supercharger.

[FuriousPumpkin]

I've never driven an aston myself, but I've heard it's the most fun to drive out of all the astons. It has an amazing exhaust note and loves to get the tail out a good bit.

I bet it handles the rougher roads better than a mustang or a corvette too. Those can have a pretty firm ride. But i don't really mind a firm ride.

[mazda6tuner99]

lets say i buy a mustang or an Aston, i take the mustang put maybe 20,000 into the car, and still have a lot left over.stang wins. by the way i just rode in a corvette zo6 for the first time im my life an an aston cANT beat it.

[FuriousPumpkin]

yeah that's 100% true corvettes are wayyyy better than astons, better value and performance

but a vantage is a lot of fun in the categories of noise, handling, and livability. I just want to give the aston credit on that. Even if it's expensive.

[phateracing]

I completely agree with what you are saying. Used car + turbo setup will be faster than most things on the road. However, an Aston will still be better looking and nicer. Get more women too.

[n1inja]

Aston over a mustang any day 'cause the fact of the matter is that you still drive a Mustang. And I would be driving an Aston.

[mazda6tuner99]

yeah, but if u race, the aston will lose, i put money into a stang make it run 10 or 11 sec in the 1/4, aston not much of a car to tune. thats how i look at it. its an exotic sure someone will take it but ye know

[BAIT207]

why would you tune a car that looks and sounds that good? the aston would demolish the stang in the corners though.

[clu4u]

James would look silly driving a Mustang...might have to revoke his license to kill, lol.

[secretorganisation]

wtf only photos?

[LGSAUSAGE]

I guessed it!!!

[mazda6tuner99]

Aston suck, a Cadillac cts-v looks better, seats more, and is faster, cost less to. same with the Nissan gtr or zr1 every thing is better that aston

[geedunk13]

guys its not all bout how deep it sounds, a lambo has a v12 and sounds high pitch

[112namrepus]

I like that sound!

[EigerBrad01]

this is the 3rd time this has been uploaded, why?

[clubtc05]

lol true it sounds like a v6 with a custom exhaust...it needs to be deeper sound imo.

[5Qu1Z33r]

I'd say, much deeper :)

[xxMafia101]

Nothing like a mopar or chevy but it does sound nice.

[HaleFire7]

My mustang's 4.6 is wayyy deeper than this.
