A GT.... so a forced comparison to any 911

The 928 GTS/ would have been a better comparison, but over a decade separates the two. There's no post-2000 Porsche that really lines up with any two-door Maserati has built in this Millennium. Historically, Maseratis were more like Italian Aston Martins than 1-for-1 Porsche or Ferrari rivals on the road. The last series-production Maser (i.e., no MC12 or 90s Barchetta) that seemed like an earnest pitch at the 911's performance image likely was the Shamal 20 years ago.
Best,

More character and more interesting. I’ve driven many 911s and have never wanted one. I find them to be clinical and sterile and just not up to my standards of entertainment. Is this a manual transmission? Nice ride!!!
Thanks

It is an automated manual (paddle shift) - Maserati called it Cambiocorsa (Italian, meaning "race change"). Important to note it is an automated manual gearbox and not a full auto (and this the 'Auto' button should never be used! Just drive as you would a...
