I'm looking to get a used GT and wonder if the GT Speed is worth the extra money over a regular GT? I'm a power junkie so if I were to end up w/ a regular GT, then would have to spend some money on an EVOMS tune and maybe an exhaust. I can probably get an '06 or '07 GT for $50K less than an '08 Speed so what is your take?

 

'07's and later have the newer electronics so I would avoid the '06. I think the most bang for the buck is the '07 with a tune. I plan to get the GIAC tune this spring. That being said, there is still something special about the speed.

 

Well you are going to spend a lot of time and money for a tune that frankly will devalue the car

just how many people will want to buy a used modded GT?

I would guess not many...it's not the same as Porsches

my GT Speed is fantastic and I love it

the exhaust sounds amazing and it's a very fast car for one that weighs as much as a Sherman tank

so my vote is get the speed. It's more rare and will hold it's value better

personally I think it's actually a good value for all the upgrades they have built in from the factory.

 

I'm still getting a flash by the way...you can never really have too much power!

 

If we (by that I mean my wife) didn't want the convertible, I definitely would have gone for the Speed. I didn't want to spend what a Speed convertible cost.

 

You should prolly PM Sezme on that since he'll know... but then again he also has the EVOMSit which we did

 

the prices on the 08' speeds are coming down. Definitely would not buy a brand new one. consider an 07' mulliner with a tune

 

I think the Supersports will be available as a drop-top

 

Very True! I would not be messing with buying any Bentley brand new. They are not holding their value at all. New (997 and up) Porsche TT's hold there value much better than a Bentley.
