Very nice lemon, I saw a couple of these at the Petrolhead Nirvana meet at the Ace the other day. A Maserati does seem like a worthy alternative to the usual BMW, Merc, AM fare.
Would be interested to know how it compares to a 944.

Hi All
Just a quickie after nearly 500 miles under my belt with the new motor.
Compared to the 944 turbo it is a very different animal.
With so much torque on tap, lag is none excistant[8D]
I am defiantely having to change my driving style as the 944 needed to be revved much more
to get it really moving, keeping it above 3,000 revs to keep the whole thing on the boil.
The 3200 is pulling like a train from 1,800 revs and goes like the proverbial by 4,000 and there
is still the nearly 7,000 rev limit to hit yet, thats when things start really start going bonkers, from
4,000 to 7,000 revs!!!!.
And the exhaust note[8D][8D][8D]
Well that is to die for. Upto 4,000 revs its a deep V8 growl and after that when both Turbo's
are on full song it goes into a sort of higher pitched frenzy, AMAZING....[
]
I am so glad I have gone for the 3200 with it's turbo's, like the 944 Turbo it was that addictive
Turbo shove that I will never get tired of.
I still miss the 944 though, just wish I had a double garage (and some more cash to run 2 sunday cars!!!)
then I could have the best of both worlds.
Cheers
Lee
