Would you sell or keep.....

Would you sell or keep - can't make my mind up no Ferrari sounds like it but I find it too slow these days!!! first world problems with a small 460bhp.....

find it too slow these days!!!

hang on to it, you cant go fast anymore these days on public highways anyway, not unless you want points and not the ones you get prizes for

I understand your position! A Maserati in my view should not be used as a ‘driving’ car this is reserved for the other stable. Our cars are all about the feeling they give, rarity and because they are not the other stable.

I personally want to scratch the Ferrari itch, why? Many folk dream to own a Ferrari. My problem is that I would be never trade my relatively rare gts unless I could trade up into a ‘special’ Ferrari. I feel your predicament

 

[Wattie]

Sell,
there’ll be plenty around if you wanna move back.

 

[Andyk]

If you are thinking about it and it's not fast enough for you sell.....Lots of great cars out there to try and you can always come back.....

 

[daverichardson]

sell

 

[phills1]

Sadly Maserati and Trade up don't go together unless your talking MC12! I think my garage may end up like Maserati, Ferrari 458 speciale / Pista and Porscahe 991.2 GT3 so all for very different things!

Well, anything new with a couple of turbo's is going to be faster. It's more about the theatrics. The experience of speed is very relative. As well of how much of that speed you can actually use.
I guess it depends on what else you need or want from a car.

 

[azapa]

that's an amazing colour. I can't quite tell what model it is. An auto may feel slow?

Press the peddle on the right a bit harder, I've rarely heard them called slow, but I guess it depends what else you have in the garage!

Blu Mediterraneo - somewhat rare awesome colour. Front bumper shows what model it is ;-)

Mine has been drvien properly for 1000 miles over three days legally racing around Italy - doing the Mille Miglia as an offical support car!

I guess outright power was not the reason you bought it in the first place and therefore not be the reason to sell. If you like the looks, the colour combo, and is in good shape you should keep.

We never know what's around the corner for our type of cars regards legislation

I'm sure there's some one out there working on a battery powered repro old Maser!

Wheeler Dealers did the electric conversion of a bi-turbo.

Seems like you’re asking us to tell you why you shouldn’t sell it - but the fact that you are even thinking about selling means selling it is probably the right answer!

If the car feels too slow to you, that’s never going to change. Admittedly, the colour is special (I had one that colour), but other than that it would be easily replaceable if you decided you wanted another one at some point...

I was thinking more on the lines of a proper factory engineered conversion with a warranty!

Power corrupts...

Keep it, lovely colour.
I bought the GT to go with a 997 Turbo and LP560. GT does feel slow compared to them but I love the way it sounds and the look.

 

[rockits]

Sell it to me and take my Chimaera 500 as it is plenty faster and in fact too fast for me! Problem resolved

What and cost 5k+ a year to tax!
As were out of the EU at the end of the year, hopefully we'll be immune to all this.
