Hi All,
I am currently contemplating a move from my lovely GS over to a 4.7 GranTurismo S. There are various reasons for the change but mainly i am after a newer car which i can use more often throughout the year. I have also always wanted a GranTurismo ever since i first saw one on the road!
Now here is where i need some advice, i am leaning towards an Auto because the ZF box is a work of art and as mentioned i am going to be using it more on a daily basis. I am also looking forward to not having to complete costly clutch changes (something i know only too well from the GS). My budget is likely going to point me towards an earlier 4.7 S. Am i right that the main difference between the auto i want and the MS Shift is the exhaust? I will happily tinker with the exhaust afterwards to make it sound as it should so this not something that concerns me. Is there any other differences? I guess i can still drive the auto in manual mode if i am after a sportier drive? Are there any other options that are must haves to look out for?
Once i am happy about the car i am after i will see what i will get in terms of a p/x but i guess i will likely require a private sale in which case here will be the first place i post!
Thanks,
Stefano
