Thanks for the warm welcome. Well, I have mostly owned Corvettes for the past several years. Not the expensive ones. I was driving down the road the other day and saw a Maserati and said "wow, that looks pretty cool." I surfed 'em up and saw there seem to be deals to be had and wondered why the price drop? So I started reading the forums and here I am. I like that the "affordable" modern Maseratis have a Ferrari engine with timing chains instead of the 3 year belts. I'm thinking people are scared of them because of the variators. I had a Ferrari 308 GTSi and liked the exhaust note when I was 7500 RPM's going through the gears. The Ferrari engine is what drew me to here. I don't know if I'll buy one, but I like the coupes & Gran Turismos with an 8 cylinder and like learning about different cars. This forum has a bit more technical information than maseratilife.
Edit: Gran Turismo
