My Supercharged AMV8

My car has arrived. I took my wife for a ride right after delivery. As we pulled through 3rd gear to redline, the g's kept building and she screamed. She claims we became airborne but I assured her it was not so. This car is now fast and a turbo competitor! My wife does not usually scream. Not in cars anyway!

Wow - that's impressive off 4lbs of boost. Is that a Vortech blower? Is the ES-X related to Easy Street racing? Last question - what did that hit you for?

It looks very clean and very sturdy. Obviously makes lots of power... Congrats - that's an awesome upgrade.

Wow, very cool!

The Vantage recently underwent a little face lift, did it get a boost in power?

Seems like it is indeed a Vortech unit, so the supercharger is a proven piece of gear. It makes a huge power jump (170whp/100wlb-ft). I can only imagine how nasty the new 4.7L unit in the Vantage would be with this supercharger kit.

To the OP - sounds like you've got quite a beast on your hands. Let us know your driving impressions. I couldn't find a price, but if you wouldn't mind PM'ing me, I'm very interested to know. Thanks!

I wish the Vantage came Supercharged with the 4.7L from the factory, then you've got a car that will put the majority of the cars behind its trail.
