    Why? I have a compulsion to buy a Maserati Biturbo. I've looked at a couple in the last month...one in Cali and then another in Dallas........both just weren't in the condition I had hoped. Now I have one that's caught my attention in the St. Pete area and can't get there to look at it.....or most important see how the driveline feels (these cars are known for getting a vibration in the driveshaft that raises hell with the pinion and transmision output shaft, $$$$$) and also to see if the turbos are spooling correctly (one should see them hold the needle near the yellow markings on the boost gauge when at +3K on the tach and at speed, and you should be able to HEAR the waste gates open and whistle between gears). I can give the "test driver" more details if he or she agrees to taking on this mission. Anyway if someone has the time in the next 3-4 days it would be greatly appreciated.
