2009 GranTurismo S F1 registry?

Howdy all. I started a quick registry on another board to see how many of the 300 or so 2009 GT's with the F1 transmission we could find. I know there are or were a couple folks here with one also. Shoot me a message or let me know, I can copy the list here too if there's any interest. I'm up to about 16 cars so far although most of them I've found by perusing for sale ads.

It's a fun car, I've had mine a little over a year now. You can pick one up pretty cheap these days, less than $40k. There are probably at least a dozen on Cargurus right now.

 

By the way, here is the list I've compiled so far....

So far we have:
42680 Black/Red (advertised for $37k in AZ) 21k miles
42975 Black/Red (advertised for $42k in CA) 20k miles
43330 Black/Red (advertised for $43k in MA) 42k miles
43355 Black/Black (advertised for $36k in CA) 36k miles
43362 Black/Tan (advertised for $40k in MA) 35k miles
44099 Red/black (advertised for $48k in OH) 17k miles
44106 Grey/Red 31k miles
45063 Black/Red 24k miles
45321 Red/Black (advertised for $36k in AZ) 26k miles
45377 Gray/tan (advertised for $40k in MO) 60k miles
47143 White/black (advertised for $46k in NY) 35k miles
47148 Black/black (advertised for $47k in NY) 25k miles
47595 Gray/Black (advertised for $36k in WI) 42k miles
47763 Black/Tan (advertised for $39k in GA) 41k miles
47778 Black/White (advertised for $34k in CA) 52k miles
47980 Black/Black 56k miles (Jdubbya)

 

I'll keep an eye out as I compile my list.

 

Yup, as stated you will only see this instead of a shift handle like any automatic....(Mine is missing the ashtray lid and trim ring around the cupholders but this is the only visual way to tell easily. )

They continued selling the GT- S in other markets than USA with the F1 trans. The MC is the "special edition" in the US but still with the auto transmission, the rest of the world got the MC Stradale with the F1 box. I don't think any of the convertibles ever got the F1 trans either that I know of.

The race version was the Trofeo series. Was just reading the other day where a gent in the UK bought one of these and made it street legal. WILD ride on the street I imagine. https://www.sportsmaserati.com/index.php?threads/granturismo-mc-trofeo-road-registered.30447/

 

Oh the sound though of the Trofeo cars......yes!!!

 

I haven't kept the list up here but I did add that one over on the Mlife page.
