Gran turismo MC
I’ve always loved the looks of the Maserati Gran turismo but never drove one. About a mile from my house is a 14’ MC edition with 7k miles triple black - anyone ever drive one? I’m tempted to go take it for a spin...not sure I’m ready to give up my 911 but my wife and I both like these grahd touring sports cars .....thoughts?

The engine sound alone from that Ferrari V8 is one of the best in the world.
It's a GT car. Read tonnes of reviews and car is heavy and despite 440 hp it doesn't feel that fast. Interior is dated and has this poor "rubbery coated plastic" as we have in the 997:s that is sensitive to scratching. It peels.
It's also known for guzzling fuel.
But despite all this I absolutely love that car. If I ever have two cars it's a 911 and the Gran Turismo S cabrio
Two things that must be fixed is the "Jeep-like" space to the fenders and also that the wheels need spacers. I don't understand why not more people fix this as the car looks a bit strange with original ride height and the wheels located too far inside the fenders.

I agree. I love this body design but WTF on the ride height and wheels sit too far in. I could not bring myself to buy one. Now my eyes are drawn to this every time I see one
