Try to find some parts for that set of wheels and life just may be a LITTLE rough.
Beautiful car, though.

Only problem...from the pictures, I don't see any place to play it.
You are right I cant find parts anywhere online...How do I figure the possible wheel upgrade specs? The wheels are pretty small stock, I believe 235-40-18...I dont think 20's are possible...Has nice brembos though...

Very nice. Paddle shifters rock, but do you miss a console shifter? Also, why doesn't the speedo seem to peg out at 0 mph? Beautiful, and your fleet is looking very complete.

What are the specs on it?

I think the GS is going back to the dealer...Maserati is paid for, Lexus is on lease....

The stable will be updated in the upcoming months....

The XK8 and RX300 lease are finishing their lease...Might replace the XK8 with a MB SL, AM DB9 Vanquish(my vote), or something else...Any suggestions?

RX300 gets either the GS or something else...

Might get a newer year IS because it doesnt cost us any money b/c of a deal with the dealer...

My sister who had the RX330 went to the GX and now wants the RX 400...

For all you guys who dont know, Maserati is controlled by Ferrari. I believe the engine is a 4.2L, built by Ferrari. The Cambiocorsa transmission is the same as Ferrari's F1 paddle shifting system.

Again, sweet car!
Ferrari, nice... I was thinking the inside looked like something Ferrari would do, I was wondering who parented Maserati...

Thx for the info...
