What is the consensus on the GranTurismo MC?

What is going on with that suspension - so high?

I've driven both. As everyone says, the MC Shift/Strad is the one to get if you want character. I'd only get the auto if I was doing daily city/town driving in slow traffic. Also, the auto is higher geared so cruises at lower revs on the motorway.

Regarding carbon ceramics, don't believe the Internet! They are not as fragile as everyone makes out and it's pretty easy to spot ones that have been mistreated. In normal road driving, you'll have 50k+ without changing pads and 100k+ without changing discs. Also, the discs don't rust and no brake dust.

I think they have that set in off road mode.

You sure? I thought the way of measuring them was to remove and weight them. @Zep to the very black coloured courtesy phone, please!

There is no plug in option, it’s just the scales.

Interestingly CCM discs are dimensionally stable (for the most part) during the wear process. The mirror finish is generally for new or newish discs, the rougher surface finish is fairly standard for discs that have been used but are still within spec.

They are very easy to take off and weigh. Probably 30 mins max per side, even for the home mechanic like myself.
