Beat a Maserati coupe 2x over the weekend

I know I should have been beaten, but obviously the driver could not drive, right? In both races I came off the line faster than he did and he never passed me at speeds up to 100 MPH. I also had my VDC off.

No NO and NOOOOO

The Maserati coupe is about 360rwhp through an automatic and a HEAVY HEAVY CAR....

I believe that Ford has a stake in the company and if I am not mistaken, they use a variation of the 4.6 engine without a supercharger....

Ferrari is also involved with Maserati as well.....

The cars are heavy as hell, I would say a high 13 second timeslip is par for the course for that car....

Engines are built by Ferrari boss. There is nothing ford in the car. You are thinking of Panoz

Do yourself a favor and put that VDC on after you get up to speed 50mph or so... It only helps really off the line to get going but if you loose it at 100mph w/ out it on say bye bye...

Non the less Great Run, Congrats!!

I smelled that also. I've driven this model Maserati on the track at Imola and it's a beast. The driver was probably just dozing off and didn't realize that STL_G was racing.

Don't know where you get the "not very favorable" from but I read in Motor Trend or C&D (can't remember which one) that says that thing is a great car. Also, I know that a car "beauty" is subjective but ugly? It looks almost as nice as the Aston Martin (not quite, but close). I saw a few near me (I work in L.A. so there are plenty of nice cars here) and they do look nice.

I beat an enzo with my spaceship last night, I wasn't going to race it, but I just picked up santa clause and he wanted to know what my spaceship/g35 hybrid could do. We beat him minutes before he took off, Thats right 1.5 the speed of light with santa, 3 elves and all the presents in the back.

Tell Santa he owes me presents for like the last 10 years!! Tell him to get his fat a** out of your spaceship and come deliver the goods.

By the way nice work. Nearly had beer come out my nose. Keep it up at this rate I will have blood come out my eyes, my very own stigmata.
