    Can any of you help me out with some questions? I am purchasing my first Ferrari 575M this spring and would like to come here and ask owners of Ferrari's first before anything to get your advice and opinions so I don't make any mistakes.

    When it comes to the handling package, is there any difference between the GTC Handling Package or the Fiorano Handling Package or are they the same thing? Should I go with Ferrari's GTC or Fiorano handling package to improve the handling of the car or go with other after market parts like Novitec/KW suspension-spring setup or Koni with H&R springs?

    I'd like the 575M to be louder, not obnoxiously loud, but have a more meaner, aggressive note to it, does the GTC package exhaust provide a good enough note or should I go with Tubi or Novitec?

    Also, for the gearbox, when it comes to the paddle shift option, if I choose that option can I also turn it off and switch to automatic mode for when I don't feel like shifting gears manually?

    Whatever you do pls do not install tubi....waste of money. Sound not that great and quiet down from mid to high range.

    The GTC exhaust sounds beautful on both the 575 and 612. No need for aftermarket if you find a car fitted with the GTC exhaust.

    optrex checkout the Novitec exhaust, they have 2 different sound options as well. I think their exhausts sound the best so far for the 575M out of all the exhausts I heard. Checkout the Novitec Ferrari 575M in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpybd6FzD7I

    I've got a Tubi in my 02 and I'm very happy with the sound. I have other sports cars with loud exhausts but its actually nice to drive this one and just have a little sound. You have to remember this is not a race car, but a sport touring. Big difference. Good Luck!

    The Fiorano package is the beefed up suspension, and is included with the GTC package. The GTC also gets you the monster carbon composite ceramic brakes. I have the GTC on my 05.

    Many think that the X-OST is great. Racambi has them pretty reasonably. I put one on my 2002 575M and it sounds excellent.

    The HGTC has a revised suspension computer compared to the FHP.

    Certainly do not agree, and I am not the only one.

    I have Capristo on my 550 and it sounds amazing, I'm not sure if you would get the same note from a 575, but it worth investigating.

    Luckily my car came with it already on. I'd be pissed if I'd ordered it myself.
