why not just get a ferrari? the maserati isn't gonna hold it's value worth a shit.

looking for something with backseats.....ive got kiddos and i had to strike a deal....any sportscar i get must have backseats.....

i was at the porsche lot looking at TT and i meandered over to the maseratis....they are beautiful exotic cars....

not worried about it holding its value. just wanna have some fun. i havent had a sports car since....well....last year.

there was a continental GT there....but it was just too old person-ish. if i got one of those, i would have to start smoking big ass cigars, wearing gold chains with gold nugget rolexes and burgundy pants....and i could never go out without a glass of scotch in my right hand..... lol!!!

what do you mean, "start"?

NOITALL · July 19th, 2004, 07:23 PM

then get a 575M or a used 550. Maseratis are a fad.

**Lawboy** · July 19th, 2004, 07:23 PM

u cracked on my impeccably incredible style and taste? how could u? thats just wrong....so wrong.......

FUCKER!

ok, so now that the asswipes have FINISHED hijacking my thread. has anyone driven a Maserati Coupe? or heard anything good or bad about them? im looking for a daily driver....has to have backseats.....so far i have narrowed it down to the 911TT and the Maserati Coupe with F1 paddle shifters...

**Smackie** · July 19th, 2004, 07:33 PM

The 996 Turbo X50 will give that Maserati "the business" in just about every imaginable way. Maserati is the Scion of the Italian badasses.

**Lawboy** · July 19th, 2004, 07:38 PM

i love the Pcar TT but it is soooooo common here in dallas. not the TT, but the 996 is almost as common as a vette. and its almost as difficult to tell the difference b/t carrera and a TT as it is with a vette and a Z06.

i know the performance edge goes to the Pcar.....and thats what im leaning towards...but the Maserati just caught my attention and it was a LOT of fun to drive. the interior was very similar to my Aston. it was gorgeous.

You've been test driving shit for three years...Buy somethin already...I am almost ashamed to know that you are still sportin a VW Bug...

**Lawboy** · July 19th, 2004, 07:48 PM

but my VW is SOOOOOOO cool. and i do have the turbo model...im thinking of throwing a big single on there....and then watch out!@

Aston Martin DB9. Fuck the Italians on the GT front [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]

If you must have back seats (I hope your kids are small, because there aren't many cars from ANY camp with large rear seats), Look at the Astons, or if you want Italian... Ferrari 456GT. You could go oldschool Maser if you wish, an Indy will do what you want it to. Pimpin' unique oldschool would be an AM V8 from about 78 or so. Badass cars man, sound wonderfull.

the only Aston i like is the Vanquish and it wasnt a pleasant experience.

i will probably just go with the 996TT

Nameless · July 19th, 2004, 07:54 PM

P-car? Bah!

What didn't you like about the AM? The DB9 is said to be an excellent car, and I for one am loving the new direction they are taking.

**Lawboy** · July 19th, 2004, 07:58 PM

it had major mechanical and electrical problems not to mention several fit and finish issues. it left stranded on the side of the road 3 times in the first month. dealership never could get it fixed right so they bought it back.

they are my favorite cars. im just gonna give them a little more time to get all the bugs worked out. the Vanquish is still based on their old platforms and is set to undergo a whole new redesign like the DB9 and AMV8. i will check back with them then.

I only like the old Masers.... Ghibli especially. Good Ghibli 'vert is some serious jack these days.
