Back in the fold

After five years away and many cars later, I returned to the marque last week when I took delivery of a 2011 GTC Speed. It has 4k miles and is Onyx over Beluga with red piping and piano black veneers.

Although quick it feels a little sluggish after one of my last cars which was a modded Nissan GTR.

I have been looking at the muffler bypass by Fabspeed which I assume would have to be used in conjunction with a tune?

Anyway it feels great to be back.

I should think that most cars will feel sluggish after driving a GTR. Welcome home.

Welcome back. I always did wonder what you would buy after owning a Bentley and never figured GTR? Fast I am sure but not quite the class.

I did purchase the pipe system and ECU tune from Fabspeed and I like it a lot.

Where in TN if you don't mind, I'm in New Tazewell. if you were close and interested we could meet and you could see the Fabspeed stuff.

I am just outside Gatlinburg. I had quite a few cars since the last GT, a ford GT40, GT3 RS, AM Vantage, etc and just traded a '12 Ferrari California.

I would be interested to hear details,cost,and thoughts on your mods. PM me if more convenient.

Thanks for the welcome.

Keith.
