Have fun and make sure you drive it! I may be putting my '05 GranSport up for sale soon in order to get more cylinders. It's been a great car and is very DIY with the right tools.
Was warm enough in PA on Monday that I took it out for a drive:

Probably one of the Best Buys going right now.

‘GranSport Spyder - 473 built
1 of 4 in Verde Goodwood.

 

I’ve had a 2005 CC for about a year. I’ve kept it stock and have not done the Formula Dynamics upgrade which would help a bit with shift times, but as is I love the car and am convinced that these are the best deal in any car market. About to do a clutch replacement which I’m looking forward to for a project and excited to see how it performs like new. Love it.

I agree, they are very inexpensive cars to buy. You can get a good one for Toyota or Honda econobox car prices. I have an early GT 6 speed Spyder wich are getting harder to find but there are plenty of nice Gransport CC's and 4200 CC's on the market. Formula Dynamics spring and exhaust upgrades are a must for the early cars.

 

I have the FD DBW, springs, wheels, and Fabspeed 2nd cat deletes. Such an improvement over other GS's and 4200's I've driven and worked on. The DBW really sharpens the throttle response, plus the improved clutch engagement. I'm monitoring the F1 system and notice about 1% per 1k miles. Car has 38k on its 2nd clutch(installed at 12k miles) with around 65% remaining. I highly recommend at least the DBW if nothing else. Should also be an improvement on 3-pedal cars, too.

 

DBW install is fairly easy. Mostly cutting and soldering a few wires in the right-side footwell. FD has good instructions. Just make sure the wires into the connectors are tight - the wires in the kit seem a bit short, so some bends can be tight. Not sure if they've colorized the wiring yet, but mine are all black. At least they're labeled!

 

Congrats. Gorgeous car. Had a Gransport for 3 years and 50,000 kms w/o a problem. Still regret selling it…..

Lovely looking car, enjoy. I've owned it's predecessor a 3200 Assetto Corsa for 9 years now. ( Although sold for one of them and bought back lol.)

 

Great, great and fun car to have/enjoy. One of my favorites. Had an 06 Coupe CC w/vintage pkg, and GS wheels, Argento luna/navy blue...super classy, drove it 30k miles over 5 years or so.

Currently have an 06 GS Coupe, maybe 1 of 3 coupe in 90th anniversaire blu (remember, the 90th blu was made for 05 GS Spyder exclusovely)...owned for 5 years now Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Thank you and agreed, Maseratis sound super nice especially with some kind of exhaust...I have the fabspeed midpipes and mucho pleasant noises!

 

While i can tell all of you appreciate a soulful Trident automobile that sings and talks to your soul, may I suggest picking up an 05-07 quattroporte duoselect.

One of the best sedans I have ever owned and drives amazing...still one of my favorite cars to get into after 80k+ miles and 14+ years of ownership.

And right now, one of the best bargains in town with prices super low!
