VBUGKING Report post Posted April 11, 2009 So after we turned in the ML63 when the lease was up, I started shopping for a Bentley CGT Speed coupe. I didnt really find the deal I wanted, and the weather got really nice, so I decided to give the GTC a shot. After a 45 minute test drive in 70 degree weather with the top down, I was sold. It's an 07 with 12k miles and stickered for 212k. The price was right, so I bought it on the spot. You cant even tell its a softop when the top is up, and the car looks and drives amazing. I did 2 Vbox 0-100mph runs, and both were identical. 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and 0-100mph in 10.8 seconds, not bad for a 5500 pound car. I am probably going to do the Renntech chip to it which promises about a 70hp gain. Below are some pictures of the new ride when I had to move some of my cars out of the garage (and to the front drive) while the garage floors were being redone.

LivinVIP Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Aaron, Beautiful GTC ! I love the basketball leather, I have a Flying Spur and love it. Smart move purchasing pre-owned, it's a buyers market today. Great home as well, what flooring did you go with in the garage ? I would like to replace mine and have been looking at wood-plank look ceramic tiles, marble, Mexican Tile and Brick. Have a Great Weekend, Victor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBUGKING Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks man, flying spurs are awesome too. For my garage floor, I went with a product similar to epoxy, but more durable/more expensive. It's the same material that is used on spay-on truck bed liners, but with the paint flake look. The cost is about 5$ per sqft. I am really happy with how it turned out, I have already gotten a lot of compliments on it. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Awesome job Aaron! Congrats to you! Great stable youve got! On a side note in AZ, a guy with a flying Spur had it chipped at EVO, with 4 people in the car he was running 12.90's, blowing away his own modified 360CS (13.5's) .

VBUGKING Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks everyone, I still have the TT Gallardo, although it's still back at Heffner's shop. I hope to have it back very soon. It dyno'd a little over 800rwhp on pump and like 975 rwhp on MS109. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, when are you going to get a Bentley CGT? That's a really fast spur! Laura wants zero potential issues with modding this car, so Renntech is really the only option I can consider for this.

porter Report post Posted April 12, 2009 Very cool place you have, and some sweet vehicles. The GTC looks great and you got a killer color combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBUGKING Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks Porter. I love this house, but I bought a new house and this one is going on the market. I am going to miss it, but I am looking forward to moving into the new home as well. I love the color combo on the GTC, and the chrome wheels look great. Btw for those who care, the speedo on the Bentleys are off. It's not as bad as the lambos, but more like the F430 I had.

SV-N-IT Report post Posted April 13, 2009 very nice collection/house!! what are you doing to your GTT? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBUGKING Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Jason put some new turbos on it, fixed the egear shifting issue it was having, put on a different exhaust, added the boost control, increased the boost, installed upgraded halfshafts. Car put down a little over 800 rwhp on pump, and 975rwhp on MS109. Thats a nice improvement over the 750rwhp and 875rwhp it put down originally. Currently one of the new turbos has an oil leak, so once Jason gets a new one in, the car will be ready to send back to me.

Falken Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Nice purchase...seems like a strange switch from a ML63 to a GTC. I'd have thought the GTC would replace that SL you've got, considering you have a SLR, 997tt and a GTT. Nice house buy the way (even though your selling it now).

VBUGKING Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks guys. It wasnt really a switch from an ML63 to a GTC. The ML63 lease was up, we werent going to replace it at all since we have the Cayenne. I do agree that the SL isnt as useful now that we have the GTC and SLR. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2772 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Jesus...with the way you buy and sell cars Aaron I would guess you are only buying them to see what they register on your VBOX...then you just trade them out for something new to test! Is this your way of getting the most for your money out of your VBox?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbnRushd Report post Posted April 15, 2009 WOW! 25,000 posts with that! Congrats on the new car! And awesome stable you have! Did you redo the garage for selling the house though? Or did they just happen coincidentally? Be sure to put up pics of the new house too! (Hopefully you'll have enough garage space for all of them) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
