Cool Wanna see my new Maserati? **many pics!**

Here are some pics of my new 2006 Maserati Gransport. Got her a few weeks ago with only 12,500 miles and have loved driving her every second!

Some quick info on the Maserati:

- a 4.2L V8 engine made by Ferrari
- F1 transmission made by Ferrari too
- 400 hp, 333 lb-ft torque
- carbon fiber accents on steering wheel and center console
- 0-60 in 4.8 seconds
- 19 inch Trofeo wheels
- Brembo brakes with red brake calipers
- Anniversary Blue exterior color

Some driving impressions

I simply love this car. I mean LOVE it! I always leave it in sport mode. And the engine and exhaust sounds are ORGASMIC!! And on down shifts, the throttle blip sounds are amazing!

It is super fast and handles great. Amazing car

Enough chatter, time for some pics. Enjoy!

Here you go, some engine pics!

Love the Tessa Rossa (red headed in Italian ).

I think engine is beautiful.

Oh yeah, and the engine is made by Ferrari. Not much more to say
