Tuning

[Chrislaxy]

Hi guys. Anyone managed to tune a GT to sub 4 secs - 60mph ?

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Novitec made the Stradale to 646hp. So surely 4sec is doable or close to it under this setup.

Thanks mate. Is there an article/post for this ?

Given people are turbocharging everything these days and there are electric superchargers now, I am surprised no one has done a GT yet

There are a few videos out there. A red GT S and a Stradale. One thing I do know is the conversation was not cheap.

[Mr.Cambio]

Yes, it's been like this for more than one year.

Any reason? Cost, demand ?

Probably, it is such a small market for a GT as it is let alone running one. Can’t imagine there are many out there with these mods.

Similar to the 450bhp 3200 mods, very small market, and short lived window of demand

I bought my 3200 from the people that did those mods. Cortesse I think they were called. Can’t remember what the tuner was called but they were German.

From memory the Novitec job was £35k!

You also have to consider, is half a second to 60 worth losing the sound?

I am sure many on here will answer that for you

Completely wrong. It’s an age thing. The dealer was called Caracalla. The owner Simon Jordan was the only one in the UK at the time sell the Leo Nardo upgrades. I did like the Leo Nardo stuff.

Auto Italia put it against an Aston Martin Vantage Zagato in issue 62 from October 2001.

Personally I can't believe that the gains would be that noticeable certainly not like breast implants

I bought my first Italian car from SJ, new 2.0TS GTV with 17” telidials, brilliant car.

In Bristol (or Bath) I think.

 

[safrane]

Bath was thier base (Priston Mills), but sadly no longer trading.

 

[Andyk]

He had a place in Bath itself when he was called Caracalla but then he moved the the barn at Preston Mills that was a lovely area but sure they changed the lot name then to Cortese.

I think I remember Cortese of Bath, they had an Assetto Corsa, in black, when I was looking.
