    Friend of mine in WA wants a Mass Gran Tourismo. Can anyone give me a realy quick low down on the three models?

    GT, GT S, and GT S with MC shift? I know SD changed his GT to a GT S, but is the MC shift another step up again or just a gimmick?

    Some would think that they are one of the most beutiful modern cars on the road. I would have one and I'm not a modern car person.

    i think the look has gone out dated a bit. the look of the grandsport has grown on me.

    other wise, i think the GT-s gets a better, stronger motor, and MC shift is just a bit of a bodykit, harder suspension, but no real weight loss.

    still bit too expensive i think. grandsport or coupe is great buy

    GranTurismo= 4.2 V8 with 6spd ZF Automatic
    GranTurismo S Auto= 4.7V8 with ZF Auto. Same car but with spoiler, sideskirts.
    GranTurismo S MC Shift= 4.7 V8 with 6spd paddle shirt manual.
    GranTurismo MC Stradale= 4.7 V8. More power, less weight, 2 seats, faster gearshifts, carbon brakes etc.

    Particulalry the GS, great tourer & value for money viz a viz alternatives.

    Issues with CC clutch overplayed, excellent must do mod is the FDDBW module (also available for 360's) -plug & play almost.

    Around $4-5k with full clutch kit ie spiggot bearing etc. Driving style heavily influences the life but s/b good for 20-30k,some owners have managed double that

    Yes weight is a factor and leather fitouts a contributor to that –these are GT’s, not sports cars. Do roll a bit, sports mode tempers them somewhat. For the average driver, setup is more than adequate.

    If one is seeking to go racing, this is not the car

    the trofeo i think droped somewhat close to 240kgs? by stripping out the leather seats, and replace some body panels to carbon fibre.

    i think if it goes on a supperleggera sort of diet, it'd be a sweet car to drive, both comfortable and nimble

    Trofeo's were only track cars, a hybrid was released (MCV -only 3 in OZ ) which did have Sparco carbon racing seats and alcantara instead of leather finishing to lighten the car a bit

    No where near the SL, even the current Stradale suffers from being over weight
