Although I love my GS I've wanted a GT ever since they were launched but i have one major problem thats preventing me from taking a serious look, can't fit it in my garage:( as I'm ocd about my cars I wouldnt even contemplate leaving it outside
Carcoon do outside versions? I am sure there are others that work too.

That's great feedback, appreciated. Would you share the costs of the alignment? Thanks, Guy

They charged £165+VAT so £198 all in. I thought that was good value considering they worked on all 4 corners and spent quite a bit of time on it getting everything just right. I presume costs could vary depending on how much they need to alter and whether anything has seized / corroded though.

Went to Black Boots a few weeks back, and best thing i ever did. Missed Tony infortunately, but his guys did a great job, and the drive home was great. Well worth the 1hour drive there.

Congratulations & a great write up too
As others have said, the geo set up is so, so important & possibly more so on the Stradale with it's fixed rate dampers as somewhat hard compared to a GTS, so you need to get it right.
I used Tony @ WIM too as suggested elsewhere on here and he is great.
Glad to hear that the X pipe is on the way, a great upgrade. I had that one for a year or so before adding the sports cats too. You won't have a track noise level issue with just the X but the cats have caused me a problem, but you can always pop it out of race when going passed the trackside mic.
Enjoy your new car, they're a subtle yet significant upgrade to the already fantastic GTS
