Grandsport vs Gt

The Gransport needs some extra power (easily fixed with the aftermarket chips) otherwise it's a fantastic car, unbeatable for a 4 seater. The Granturismo S feels faster and more aggressive, even though on paper it has a lower power-to-weight ratio (because of its heavier weight). However, test figures put the GT-S at 4.5s on the 0-100 Km/h (62mph), meaning about 4.2s on the 0-60mph. The 1/4 mile comes in the high twelves. As I wrote in another post, this suggests that the GT-S has somewhat closer to 500 HP than Ferrari would care to admit...

So, as it is today the GT-S is a winner. It's well built, very fast, refined, handles well (at least as well as an Aston Vantage or BMW M3) and the gearbox-engine combination is a dream. Oh, and the sound... stuff of dreams.

On the other hand, a low mileage Gransport will cost you half the price of a GT-S, and for a few thousand bucks you can equip it with the performance chip, drive-by-wire chip for the gearbox-throttle response, and if you take it to the track you can add the sway bars and performance brake pads. All included, for less than $70K you will have a car that is as fast as the GT-S and that is not going to take such a depreciation hit any more.
