People love to talk down the market.

Just as people who already own a car like to talk it up… Esp just before they put their car to market.

Its a great car, i have a 991 GT3 (probably the best car i have owned to drive) and this will simply be better. And as the speciale is a keeper depreciation doesn't matter.

I'm exactly the same, don't plan to ever sell my spaz, best car I have ever driven, it's not going anywhere. Could give a st if it was worth a tenner.

Yes I took them both to silverstone a sat or two back.
The speciale is faster and more fun than the GTO in every way but the GTO is a bit special Nd a future classic. Apeciale really is the best car I have ever driven but is let down by the infotainment system and very weak exhaust. I put a novitec back box and capristo cats on the speciale and the character has transformed, really savage and well my solution for weak info system is as below.... Speciale is my daily at the moment after all :

Disagree, the weak point of these cars is the stereo. Fair point there are some demon tweak updates out there but this looks about as factory as you could want. My Scud stereo is terrible and just going through an update myself. Quite a tough ask if you want to keep the car looking unmolested...

I would of thought the exhaust negated the need for a stereo altogether !

Why are Ferrari ( or any supercar really ) so poor with the stereo systems on a £200k + car

F355 GTS (manual, capristo ) stereo was pants - just updated head unit and door speakers but looks OEM
F430 spider stereo was pants - replaced door speakers, added 2 self powered base units to rear shelf and amp in the boot ( front - bonnet )
430 Scuderia stereo was pants - left it alone and listened to the baby sing

I'm not a big fan of messing about with cars from stock apart from maybe exhausts, but I presume what you have done stereo wise is all reversible without leaving tell tell signs should you wish to sell on at any point.

I saw a 360 that had 1 big rectangular enclosed box right along the rear shelf which was velcroed down and easily removeable and TBH it looked as close to factory that I have seen

Specced mine without stereo as think they date over the years. Also don't like the speaker fit in the doors. If its such a big deal i will listen to my i phone with a blue tooth unit on the passenger floor well.

The upgraded Sensonum stereo in the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is pretty awesome, with the roof off, at speed. Seems to work to me. Probably thanks to Audi.....

I've ordered the integrated stereo thing, as driving to and from tracks is best done with a sound track, especially if you're on your way to Spa or the Nordchliffe....I've seen what wuppom has done and it looks like a pretty clean installation. Interested to know if the sound can be heard over the exhaust, when you give it the beans.....?

Hi ANjum,

The answer to your question is yes it can be heard over the sound of them exhaust, even with windows down and tripled figure speeds. In order to get the soeciale punching 12 out of 10 it needs these upgrades. Now it's is quite simply the ultimate all rounder. smile

Interesting. Wonder how many Vauxhall novas I could buy for the coat of that stereo. Clever thinking.
