    It's Rossa Bologna. It's a special order color for the Gransport and the same color that my 2003 Maserati was... I think it looks awesome on the Gransport.

    I was just PM'd and asked about the differences between a 2005 Coupe and a 2005 Gransport. Here goes:

    The Gransport has 10 more horsepower, a factory Tubi exhaust which has bypass valves that open up above 4000 RPM, completely different programming for the SkyHook suspension, 19 wheels and P-Zeros (as opposed to either Bridgestones or Dunlop 18's), 35% faster shifting for the Cambiocorsa gearbox, more aggressive body (front and rear spoilers and the doors are flared out), comepletely different interior including heavier bolstered seats, a lot of carbon fiber, drilled pedals, blue gauges, etc.....

    Did you sell the 996TT back to Mark Starr? :)

    Congrats on the new ride.

    I was going to sell it back to Mark but I received a higher price from another dealer. It was a bit surprising to me since Mark knew the car well.

    Yeah..but Mark needs to resell it and usually does so for less than other dealers. Hence he need to take it in for less as well I guess.

    Glad that you were able to maximize the value though. Always helps when you move onto the next machine...especially at the pace you do!

    I was at Nelson Lambo in Ohio looking at what they had today. They had a beautiful blue e-gear there. The gentleman (Steve) was telling me about it when he said "Hey, and this car is from NJ too" and I asked...."Did you get it from a guy named Scott?". "Nope, and we just picked it up a few weeks ago too.".
    But what a coincidence that would have been.
