Default Maserati in Capitol Hill

So I was walking around in the Capitol Hill area making a quick stop at Vivace for some good latte... spotted a new Maserati coupe driving around and I'm assuming it's some sort of test drive cuz it was revving up and down quite frequently.

That sucker sounds much better than I thought. I know it has a Ferrari engine, but for some reason, I thought it sounded just OK upon first impression several years ago.

The sound is that constant trumpet sounding buzz even at low RPMs... which no 4-cyl or 6-cyl can replicate just cuz I guess it's not sucking in enough air or Ferrari juice.

I'd never think of buying one, but wanted to share a pleasant aural experience that I had on a lovely morning.

I heard that guy was doing 185, but he lost his license so now he can't drive.

yes, i'm sure you notice that i make no comments about anything beyond the sound of the car. overall, that car is so non-descript it's funny thinking there are lads out there dropping good money on em

Yes, he does. He just doesn't know that he does.
