08 GTS vs. "normal" S questions

I'm starting my search for a QP. I love the sound of the GTS!


1. Will the QP "S" version sound like a GranTurismo "S"?
2. Does the 4.7 GTS and "S" sound the same?
3. GTS vs. S suspension - I read the GTS doesn't include skyhook but the standard S does. Is the GTS suspension too stiff? I drive an M3 competition package today and its fine.


4. Annual maintenance - from my research, should I average about $600 per year?


5. If its an "S" then does that have the sport button to open the exhaust flaps?


Its hard to find these specifics on these cars. I'm all about the sound to me, so I want to make sure I know exactly what to look for.


Thanks.

I have an 09 QP-S. email me at bdb@bell.net and I'll answer any questions you have. BTW - yes, I have a Sport button that opens the exhaust, reprograms the shift points, and tightens up the suspension.

The differences you are looking for start in 2009+. The 2008 I believe is just a different interior trim and suspension tuning. The engine remains the same (4.2L).
