Gransport for me, I looked at a lot of 4200s but the GS looked better and was a great drive.
Actually, one car I have seen lately that I really like is MaserTel’s Spyder. He has GS steering wheel, bumpers and surfboards, FD big brakes and wheels. It looks the shizzle. And it is manual.
I like the surfboards but indifferent to the facelift bumpers so I want to keep mine as a classic look...
What I do like out of the GS is those seats! Really would like a pair of those in my 4200. The GS wheel is really nice too prefer it over the 4200 carbon pack wheel
I have seen the GS wheel for sale at 1500 but not seen the seats and affraid to ask how much. If the are 750 each then that's not bad
I think Soprano Stu has a couple. Ask away!
... Or buy the 4200 and a Lotus Elise with the £15k.
. The gear change is a little clunky. The manual is definitely more of a "Grand Tourer"... You pick your gear sit back and hear it roar...
Sounds like the perfect combination to me!
The gear shift in the manual 4200 isn't great, but I think I'd hate a CC
I'd agree with that in a 4200 for sure. The CC box suits the car spot on. I've driven two manual 4200's and the were both poor IMHO.I don’t get what the obsession is with manual cars - I don’t think manual suits the Maserati - so for me I would say Gransport without hesitation.
The joy of a manual box is the satisfaction of changing gear. And the problem with the 4200 manual is that this simply isn’t the case. As pointed out above by an owner.
If you just pick a gear and sit back, you may as well drive an auto.
The joy of the CC box in the GS is you can wack up and down the gears to your hearts content, quickly and easily. So for me, it would have to be a GS.
