@kissmeraas I thought about that but then I realized that all Astons have two vents close to the windshield that are barely noticeable and that the DB9, with the same engine as this, makes do with just two. And besides, there are simple adjustments to the cooling that would make it a non-issue.

@Buttnut105 Just make sure the replacement's got vents in it as well or the engine will explode! Also, they're less noticeable on a black car...

@hippieswithpeace I'm not so sure! VW Passat got the same system

[Buttnut105]

If I owned this, I'd have to change out the hood. It looks like the car has leeches on it. That is this car's only flaw, in my eyes.

@ismainau Brabus is a tuning company. They don't actually make engines. Compared though to the V12s in the Ferrari 599 and the new Lamborghini Aventador, it's not as powerful. It's not even as powerful as the V10 engine in the last two generations of the Dodge Viper. But frankly, I love the sound of that engine. It doesn't sound so sterile and whiny like Ferrari and Lambo's V12, and it growls more like a lion then a dog, like an American engine.
