maserati coupe f1 advice!

There is a huge difference between the SL500 and the Maser F1.

The smoothness and reliable shifting of the SL500 is one I know and miss. Since you are familiar with it as well, you'd find the Maser a big difference.

The Maser F1 is a bit slow in shifting different from that of Ferrari's F1.

I have a 6 speed 360 and prefer that over the F1. I drove both and came to that conclusion for which I am still pleased.

You had best drive one first for more than a few blocks to experience that tranny first hand.

 

I daily drove an 02 Spyder and am now daily driving an 06 Coupe, they are very reliable and solid cars. Most other Maserati owners are having the same experience.

If you're comparing one to an SL500 you are missing the idea of the Maserati, they are two different cars. Also if you don't like the F1 , why can't 6spd be an option?

New coupes run around $84-105k MSRP generally, you can get at least $10 knocked off MSRP, I bought my base model coupe GT from Maserati of Minneapolis for $70,500

 

can your dad not make any decisions on his own???
if you supposedly have so much money and so many cars...why isn't the driveway already paved?

 

He already proved all the naysayers wrong, he's legit.

 

"can your dad not make any decisions on his own???"

+ 1 for this though.

 

I would never drive the Maserati on a dirt road. Wait until May

 

I use my 4200 F1 Maserati Coupe every day - a 9 mile commute each way plus all the other things - supermarket, golf course etc etc & long journeys too. No problem at all. I live in Somerset, UK, lots of hills, dirt tracks etc - great for windy roads - hill starts were the tricky thing but after 2 weeks no probs at all.

I see no problem. When I test drove the car - I did so from the office to home to ensure it would be OK.

Hope this helps

We think his dad's legit. We still don't know if his dad gives a **** about all the input that VK solicits on this board for the "car of the week" or even knows about all the personal info VK divulges on this board.

 

You can drive an F430 in the snow with winter tires with no problems. I've spoke to a dude who did that. And his house was on a hill.

Besides, the NEW coupe will most likely have an auto transmission.
