    Aston V12 Engine weight

    Does anyone know the weight of the V12 engine currently used by AM in the DB9, it has been also used in the Vanquish variants and DB7 Vantage and GTA?

    with everything? where is the source?
    Should Comcast, which is buying NBC, have more motorsports coverage on VERSUS and now NBC? Does North America need a racing tv channel? Find the answer to that exact question on facebook.

    Now the real point of comparison is in comaring this engine to the 599 GTB engine in terms of weight verses HP.

    Maybe a bit lacking in torque for pushing a tank to the shopping mall on a lazy SUnday afternoon tho'

    if Powertec only had the decency to fit pushrods, they would have been able to keep the weight below 60 kg....

    Yeah, the PowerTec would probably be a better engine for what I'm thinking, but hasn't yet been passed for Australian emission standards

    Well that and the rebuild every 30 hours of full power run and it might be too much hassle
