Thinking of a change.

Have a GTO 3 at the moment and thinking of getting a M400 is there a huge difference in handling and power etc,and is there anything i should look out for when buying.

If buying privately, it may be worth getting it rolling road tested as part of an inspection. There have been a couple with issues the buyers have had to sort out.

Is it's local enough and a private purchase - get Skippy from Noble London to check it out - very, very, very thorough....

My GTO3 is up for sale at the moment and it has a rolling road verified 390BHP and 400lbs ft of torque - so not much different to an M400....

I thought the Roush exhaust required a remap?

Ooh, I'm liking this option again then as I don't like anyone playing with my map!

Rob, why wouldn't you like Trevor Playing with you map...he was the chap who did your current map. I cant think of anyone who i would rather have to do any mapping on the car.

Hmmm, well Alex yes this is true but my map (seems) perfect and it does seem to me that sometimes problems occur after the map is altered - even by an expert.
