The Nobles completely outdragged the 996TT's (and pretty much everything else) over a 1 mile straight. |

the 348 GTS was surprisingly close to the 360 in straight line speed (it didnt have any cats & had a sports exhaust & k&n filters).
I sold it to the 1st guy who came to see it, it was a particularly nice one though (if I do say so myself!) I think if your car is anything less than immaculate it might be hard to sell at the moment, unless you take it to a dealer and let them rip your eyes out!
I managed 151 in the Maserati, I think given equal conditions to the day I recorded 169 in the 348 I'd probably get to around 162 in the Maserati. I think a manual 3200 would probably be about 5mph higher.
Best of luck with selling your car.
ps. I really like the 3200. It is very quick, very comfy&well appointed, plenty of space and pretty too.(IMHO) |

Not bad for your 348, only 6 down on a 360, what did the Massa do? and how are you en joying it so far, i am also selling my 348 and might end up with a 360 next. Was your 348 easy to offload or did you part ex it for the Massa. |

I was in my Maserati as I dont have the 348 anymore. Best I managed in the 348 was 169 (real electronically recorded speed), the 360's last time managed 175, this time from memory 168 (was a very strong headwind this time so speeds were down) |
