I saw the front page post about who would want to buy a Maserati GranTurismo. Well my best friend's parents have one. It's a 2013 MC Stradale. The exhaust note is probably the only good thing about the car, and it basically goes all downhill from there.
Me and my friend are in college, so one day we decided to skip classes and go to my friends condo from in Miami FL for the weekend. We were in cold-ass Ohio and we made the 16 hr trip. We loaded the car with some grass, and some hot sorority girls and started driving.
The first thing about the car, is the seats. The seats are really really bad. You would probably be more comfortable sitting on plywood. I'm not kidding you they are really bad.
Secondly the GPS and the Car audio sucks. We tried playing music through the speakers, but the speakers seized almost 30 min out of Ohio. A Gameboy Color probably has more detail than the screen on the car.
The girls in the back were complaining about the seats, but they quickly shut up when we started using said grass.
My friend did the whole 16hr journey in one go, just stopping for gas.
We both agreed that we should take the i8, the M5 or even the 7 series next time we go.

That's what I always say, a Grand Tourer should never be turned into a full on sports car. It won't excel at Grand Touring or being fast.

We had the windows cracked a little bit. The fans off, used Redbull cans as ashtrays.

Damn felt like it. We were in a luxury condo on the beach for the whole week.

hahaha
let me ask you this... How loud was the music? That's probably why the speakers gave out...

Not that loud surprisingly. And we actually never knew it was the speakers or the headunit itself.

Paddle shifters or just stick in A mode? The clutch on this thing is supposed to be far better than, say, 7 or 8 years ago.

You sure it wasn't a TC by Maserati?

Yes! The regular one is so nice! Why fuck it up? You just have an uncomfortable GT that's still heavy and still not a sports car.

nice, we once used Gatorade instead of water and found that it really helps it smell less.
