Who knows though, with the upcoming Vantage RS they might just make that car.

The RS is going to be a monster, the hood openings and the alacantra interior is to die for.

Yes, it is a Vortech V3. ESX put the pieces together. Ali and his crew are top notch. You will need to call him for a price as it depends on what options you want. It is not cheap, but, to me, worth every penny!
I'm going to do some video and GPS testing.
I just found this post, that gives lots of details about the 1st prototype(Ali's car)

Ali's car is for sale at a great price!

I have analysed my car stock and now with the supercharger using the GPS based accelerometer AX-22 from Race Technology. I am not a professional and have below average driving skill, so keep that in mind when you see the data. The results:
.......................Stock.....Supercharged
0-60mph...........5.25.............5.0
0-100mph........11.75...........9.35
0-200Kph.........18.7.............13.8
0-130mph.........20.4............15.5
60-130mph.......15.15..........10.5
60ft...................2.47...........2.58
1/4.mile............13.6...........12.97
1/4.mile.speed..108mph.....120mph
The supercharged car should be capable of
high 11's with the correct tires and driver.
Here is the video of the crappy launch that provided the data.

Also is your car a 6speed or E-gear (I forget AM's nomenclature for their robotized manual at the moment)
If its a manual, then your shifts are pretty good, nice and even!

First off congrats on the install. The AMV8 really needed an infusion of power to match its looks and sound!

I turned traction control off for the launch. You can see me smoke the tires for a second, then I let off a little, then I said "F*** It" and just nailed it.
