It's funny you say that. I am still grinning since the first and only time I drove around the Maserati. Amazing amazing car. My pops cayenne turbo s btw is just such a completely different animal. I love that car! Lol I tried to make him an offer on it this year but he wouldn't accept. Haha I offered him the cash from the 4.6is private sale which is 15 plus 10 grand cash plus I would finance 50 through chase. Of course he vehemently denied! I think he laughed in my face. He says it is his ultimate favorite car he has ever owned. I agree. First and second gear are a little sluggish, but for good reason . Once it hits mid second gear and beginning of third the turbos go full blast and sound like a 747 and it just whips you to the seat, I have a grin on my face just thinking about it. Unfortunately I can't afford anywhere near the price range. Fully loaded I heard the new ones can go over 160k now. In friggin sane! I test drove a 50i 2012 and the different between the Porsches 530hp (520 or 530 I don't remember) and the 400 HP stock of the 50i is pretty darn close in the first 2 gears. Heck I think the x5 actually jumps off the line quicker than my dads Porsche. But once you hit 3rd gear I I think the Porsche would walk th Beemer 10 car lengths. Lol
Nice chatting with you brother. Cheers.
