Hi Guys this is my new Grancabrio!
Although its heavier than my previous 4.2GT, the 4.7 engine feels so much more refined and even the gear changes on this are different. One of the big difference i noted was the exhaust note despite both having the sports exhaust.
On my 4.2 i replaced the stock exhaust with the 4.7 GTS one- it was loud with lots of crackles and popping.
On this 4.7 Grancabrio, i opened opened the valves by unplugging the vacuums and the exhaust is obviously just as loud but far fewer crackles and popping than the 4.2. Is this due to the engine?? They both have the same exhausts! I preferred the old setup with my 4.2GT
Also I wonder if anyone has got rid of the yellow reflectors in the front headlights yet? I dont like the vinyl wrap covering them idea and the GT sport lights are expensive (4K!!), Any other ideas?
Finally, what do you guys think about spraying the wheels on this gloss black? Will it go with the blue? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
P.S on a funny note- when my wife saw the car she commented "Oh thats a nicer colour than your old one.... Is this one DIESEL? !!!!!!)
