Hi everyone,
let me introduce myself - I own an '07 Gransport that I purchased in the USA when I was working in Chicago; the car has now followed me to Europe. It's a very special Gransport - not only because I drove to the back of beyond while in the USA (it's been to all the deserts, high mountains, canyons and National Parks from Colorado to California...) but because it has some pretty good mods. I have installed the Larini de-cats to which Formula Dynamics specifically matched the ECM SW upgrade; I also got the DBW, air filters and racing brake pads. Next step: springs and sway bars.
When I can fill it up with 100 octane fuel, the adjustable FD ECM gives an enormous boost to the power output of the engine. I can easily keep up with a friend's 550 Maranello. I also sometimes drive a Granturismo S which does not belong to me - I am thinking of getting one as my daily driver, but only if I can upgrade the performance to make it quicker than the Gransport!
I have long history with old Maseratis (starting with an '87 Biturbo Si, followed by a '91 2.24V, a '92 Racing, and a '96 Ghibli GT) before I played around with Ferraris (F355, F550) until two children got me back to the Maserati fold (the rear seats have something to do with that...)

). However since part of my family is British I often come to the UK. I do not exclude driving the Maser all the way some time in the future, if there is some major event going that's worth the drive. Otherwise I enjoy the car in the Alps, mostly on the Italian side where you can go a lot quicker without worrying about the police making a fuss about it. Once a year I drive to Tuscany - most beautiful roads and countryside I've ever seen.
