It might be worth twice....but its not twice the car.....your forgetting the weak link in how good a car performs...the driver behind the wheel

So true.
I'm not complaining.
Could not warrant spending £30k on a second toy car, so spending half that amount, and getting my butt on the seat of a Maserati is win win for me!
Their suspension is lower too......plus power profile different........and am sure there are one or two other changes which make it better.......as ever though....whose behind the wheel?!

i think only Robert does!!And Benny...and me.. anyone else?Very few of us get what ...70/80 % out of a cars performance......you need trained...plus do a lot of track time

Chaps..a question i've always had, but after a small search i think i found the answer. Hammond and others say that the GS is better handling than a 4200. A friend of mine has a GS, and i didn't find any better handling.
After a eurospares check i found out that: springs, shocks, antiroll bars, front wishbone bushings are all the same, with the previous beeing responsible for handling. Personally i think that only the wheels give a slightly better handling, due to rim size and offset. remember, bigger offset gives a lower gravity point, leading to better handling.
SO, i think that only the wheels make the GS handle a bit better.Plus the media of course, that advertised the GS as a sport version of the 4200.
Would love to know if someone knows a bit more regarding handling differences between GS and coupe.
That's right, and why they say if you change the springs/lower the 4200, and add the FD DBW module to speed the gear change, you can better the GS.
Not sure the wheels can make a difference, the standard 18" are not exactly high profile!
I can't afford a Gransport and even if I could I don't think I would I can't look at those skirts without thinking what was the designer thinking.
For me the Gransport gave the 3200/4200 shape a more up to date look .......AFter all by then the 4200 bacis shape was knocking on 10 years old.......The Gransport and the 4200 facelift gave it a whole new lease of life.......
