Now if you apply a very low .48 bar boost, you'll be very quick off the line and get to sixty in the low to mid five second range...
Enough torque to do some serious tire smoking..
I prefer the M103-12V over the M104-24V....seems to have a better torque curve and feels lighter on initial acceleration...

too bad I had to have a complete engine overhaul and now I owe almost what I paid for the car less than a year ago.... maybe I'll get lucky and find some new power in this engine that was missing before huh?

I've got two m103 powered cars in the fam
and I think they're great in terms of sound
and performance...not to mention absolute smoothness.
And I drive a E420 and a 500e lol.

are in their own league you know that Z! On a side note, the Vantage regardless V8 or V12 is one sleek puppy 
M103 headless? I think it sounds quite "hot rodish" mmmmm trusty ole straight sixes!

Haha, I realize they aren't in the same league, I was just commenting on the guy who was "jizzzzzzing " his pants over an M104 LMAO...
The Vantage only comes with a V8 right now, the V12 is only on the DB9, DBS, Vanquish etc....totally different cars from mine, with GOD-like exhaust notes!
