do aston martin share the same engines with ford and jaguar?

i'm pretty sure they do, but if you do reply please provide back-up with your answer. for example i do believe the v12 db9 uses two ford engines, just tuned-up.

They share a lot of elements are technically not shared platform because they come from so many different brands! For example the Ford GT has Aston Martin, Lincoln Town Car and Ford Thunderbird elements!

In the case of the DB9, it actually has the aston martin Vanquish engine which is a V12 so not technically 2 engines as a V8 can sometimes be considered. Instead of the DB9 having a Ford engine, it is Ford who has improved V8 and V10 engines because of the research done to develop the DB9 and vibration issues that are more common in V8 and V10 engines.

About how much is an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish?

This is the car of my dreams and I tried going to the website but it didn't show the price. Can anyone tell me the price?

Heh heh, if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.

I think around $200K, give or take $50K. Depends on the year and a lot of other factors.

Good luck!

Where do I find a replacement James Bond Aston Martin DBS RC Car Antenna?

It was originally purchased at Radio Shack and they no longer have it. I've tried a few hobby stores in town but they have all gone out of business.

Ebay or google shopping.

Does anybody know the full name of the Koenigsegg near the top of the Top Gear fastest laps?

Its a really long name that required a bigger sized strip
Anybody find the FULL name?

Thanks

It’s ‘koenigsegg CCX + Top Gear wing’. If you remember, the Koenigsegg couldn’t get a good time because it had no downforce, so they sent it back for a rear spoiler.

You’ll also find that they deliberately put far too many letters in the word ‘Koenigsegg’, this is an in-joke since series two where they couldn’t spell it and decided that it should never be spelt properly. I can’t remember how they spell it.

Honda tuner enthusiasts!!! I need help with 05 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe handling upgrade ideas?

I just recently purchased a 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe with the 6 speed manual tranny and Navigation system. I am well aware that this car is no sports car and it is not my goal to turn it into one. While this car has decent power, it could really use some better handling. This is where I need your help. I pretty much have a list of items I want, but need feedback on what the best brands for each are. If you have any personal experience with a certain brand please tell me how you like/dislike it… Thank you in advance..
Here is my list:
Springs- Don't want any more than a 1.5" drop

Shocks

Anti Roll Bars aka sway/stabalizer bar (front and rear) want polyurethane bushings

Camber Kit or Bolts

Big Brake Kit for Front and Rear

Wheels- Either 17"s or possibly 18"s, must be lightweight, preferable black with chrome lip.

Tires- want highest performance summer tire that is also good off the track as a daily driver tire.

Any other items anyone would suggest?
To Nick: If you read this, where can I find a Tien suspension for my car? Every site i look at only has it for the accord up to 01 or 03? Also how much do your rims weigh?

TEIN suspention Coilovers (yes you can find a 1 1/2'' drop for it) For rims and tires i have 17'' Motegi MR7s with Kelly Fierce Racing Tires… thts all i got…

does anyone know where to get super high performance car engines?

i already saw a 454 (or something like that) engine but i want something with even more horsepower

actually more details are needed for this question, like what kinda car its gonna go in. jasper makes some dependable high performance engines, funny to say it but advanced auto parts even sells high performance engines, all of which are gonna cost a few thousand dollars, but i guess you get what you pay for, any google search on a high perf engine will return you results to buy one

Is it true that if youu want to buy a Ferrari, beside a lot of money, u need to take a special driving course?

I heard that even if you have money you cannot buy a new Ferrari car just like that…. you need to take special training provided by Ferrari, and that is a condition, if it`s your first ferrari car.

Nope. It's not required, but is highly recommended. The Ferrari driving school is located in Italy. It has been operating for 13 years. A new one is opening up in a Canadian ski town in a few weeks. The new course in Canada costs U.S. $8,200. Like the school in Italy, the Canadian facilities include a race track.

Here's another interesting tidbit: One cannot order a new Maybach without being approved by the manufacturer first.

Would you drive a Ferrari through a construction zone or turn around?

Would you drive a ferrari through a construction zone or turn around?

If I had the money to buy it then I would drive it through……..
