    Just picked up a 2009 Gran Tursimo S with the F1 gearbox. Black with black alumex and alcantera interior, having some coilovers and wheel spacers installed. Overall it seems like alot of car for the money.

    Do you retain your 308?

    Nice car you bought, a world apart from what you're used to, although very nice as well:)

    I see a few 308 owners making the step to |Maserati ownership!

    You can get carbon fiber mirrors for the car from Ferrari and you can also replace the chrome trim around the windows with black

    I still have the Fiat 500 (with coilovers), the 308 and the Jalpa, and am planning on buying my son an Alfa, so i have them all covered!!

    Yes, its a world apart for sure. I never thought anything would sound as good as my 308 burble on overrun with tubi, test pipe, and a gutted airbox, but this Maser sounds INSANE in sport mode. I just set a world land speed record driving it back from Seattle.

    Good call, the car is black with gunmetal rims, so the chrome really is a bit much.

    iphone pic, low quality but you get the idea.

    The new spring lowered the car about an inch, and with the spacers the stance is much improved, yet ride comfort hasnt changed much.

    You can get carbon fiber door handles along with the mirrors - makes a huge difference but still a great car - I'll try to get a picture to you later of the above alterations
