    3 weeks in to my 2013 Granturismo Sport

    If I fire up my mc shift without doing the old trick of letting warning lights go out and slowly pressing and releasing the accelerator before start up, at low speed she jumps around like a donkey on drugs. However when I do the above trick she moves gracefully like a well trained show horse...

    Exhaust sound - MC Shift vs 4.7 Auto

    The GTS with the sports pack has the exhaust valves that open all the time when in sports mode. So it's sound is like the MC shift but obviously you don't have the rapid gear changes, but the positive is no clutch to replace.

    Exhaust sound - MC Shift vs 4.7 Auto

    The MC shift when in sports mode really does sound fantastic, all the time, at any speed or revs. I imagine that having the valves open all the time on a 4.7 auto would get pretty tiresome, especially on long drives. However to me the biggest advantage of the MC shift is the brutality of the...

    Euro Tunnel

    I'm in Italy just now with the GTS and used the eurotunnel on the 21st and from arriving to boarding the train it was literally 30 minutes. Absolutely no delay at all for me, unsure about what else has been going on but our recent trip was trouble free. I am taking it back again on Monday 2nd...

    European Road Trip: Any road recommendations?

    Hi Everyone First questions I have is can you electronically change the lights beam direction in a 2011 GTS for right hand side driving? I can do this is my Mercedes but can't seem to find the option in the Maser, may just need to invest in these sticker things at the eurotunnel! Now on...

    Newbie picking up a 2013 Granturismo Sport this week

    The 'MC shift' gear changes works when you are over 5000rpm and 80% throttle. It really does absolutely bang it into the next gear super quick and aggreivly. In regard to clutch wear it totally depends on what the car is used for. I have heard of clutches needing replaced at 20k and not till...

    Have we discussed this?

    I think the pictures of red GT's look great but when I saw one in the flesh I was a little underwhelmed. Of course colour choice is completely subjective though. AD needs more info though especially considering it's a cat d.

    Which fuel do you use- Momentum 99 or Shell V Power?

    When I picked up my GTS from greypaul they were adamant that there was no benefit of using super over regular and that using regular was completely fine. I have used both and don't notice a difference.

    Minimising water marks?

    Hi I am hoping that some of the keen detailers on here can give me some advice. What products can be used to help minimise water marks? My car is a dark grey GTS and without fail a few days after cleaning it it is covered in watermarks if it has been raining. My current washing...
