    Which Petrol?

    For what it's worth just back from a fab visit to DMS & Rob said that the Bosch ECU could detect 97 v 95 RON 'after a full sweep through the rev range'. Once 'happy' it would default to the 97 power curve - apologies if any of the above got lost in translation!

    Without wishing to prolong this lost opportunity debate I did get in touch with the Maserati Club some time back (initially with no response) to enquire if they were looking for cars to make up the '100' - I eventually received the response that Carfest was not on their radar & that there was...

    A Very Bad Day!

    Tried a lovely GS today & found the ride a fair bit firmer than the 4200. Sadly a bit too much for my dodgy back - now looking at a 2009 5.0 XK & planning a trip to DMS to get it 'tweaked'.
