    I had the opportunity to have some fun with an older gentlman in a Maserati Coupe last night. It was quite a car and the sound was amazing. It really sounded like a calmer Cobra at WOT (with no S/C whine). We had a few roll runs and I could have him at times in 3rd but as soon as I hit 4th his power band would hit and then he'd take off and leave me sitting there. They're not bad for $80,000 and a 4.2-liter V8, 390hp/330tq 6-speed. He loved his car as much as I did and loved to show it off.

    Yes, they are nice looking and reasonably priced. It has Ferrari built V-8. The vert' is nicer looking imo.

    Honestly, that car doesn't do much for me.. appearance-wise, it reminds me of a Buick Riviera :shrug:

    It was at night so it's kind of like meeting an ugly chick in the club. Looks good in the dark but maybe nasty at night... It sounded and ran good though.

    oh yeah, my hat is off to that car for its performance, just saying it could stand to have better looks... it's kind of a brown bagger if you ask me

    The car is alot smaller than you might think, and very low. They are quite cool.

    My dads neighbor has a GranSport - and a DB7...and a Gallardo... :jaw:
