awesome guy and video as always

 

Yep, that's my daily driver. After 31K miles, I can't think of a better all around sporty daily driver GT car. I can't wait to see what the next generation will be. Hopefully, they will break out the Ferrari double clutch tranny as I've read that the new auto box leaves something to be desired in the current MC Sport model.

 

I've always been a fan and pined over getting a maser. Which one do you have UBC?

 

I have that exact car - the '09 MC Shift.

 

What is your review of it...which one do you think is the better buy...this or an MC....that MC just looks soooooo good.

 

Great video and they are beautiful.

 

I have not driven the 2012 MC, but I have read a review of an MC compared to the 2009 MC Shift on MaseratiLife. The one guy who had driven both said that he loved the 2012 car, but thought that the ZF autobox was only about 80% as nice as the 2009 single clutch and that it took away from the fun factor of the car. I imagine that the 2012 does make for a functionally better (but less fun) daily driver.

 

I will have to test drive the S. I noticed that the F1 type box was gone and a new auto box was in place....wtf??? Thx for the info though!
