C63 VS Meserati Quattroporte

Tonight on freeway Meserati came behind me ready to race. I was in 4th gear and I just step on it from 4th gear and see what C63 can do. I kept on pulling away very hard. Quattroporte is like 400hp and new on is 430hp so it was not a problem for C63. I think that he was planning to beat me but to much of HP difference.

I like Quattroporte with Ferrari V8. Not much power but that car sounds nice! With nice muffler it becomes a Ferrari sound. But should not race C63 because no way to beat me. No chance for them. But its nice car to have. Quattroporte is nice car and very popular car in Japan.

They're nice cars, but their depreciation is scandalous. Used ones can be had at hugely discounted prices. Now there's a thought!

I beat the new 4.7L GranTurismo S pretty handily, though the Maserati is a great sounding/looking car.

Every other car in here LA is either a Maserati quattroporte or a Bentley which explains the cheap resale value. They're nothing special in my opinion. I would rather have a cl63 over those two cars any day.

Yes it is.

I have to update the sig to include the C63, which has replaced the 335i.

The C63 is a great daily driver, the suspension is forgiving, the sound is intoxicating, and overall, the ride is more supple and refined. However, in all things performance-related, the GT-R completely dominates the C63. The manual mode on the C63 is a bit of a toy-like novelty when comparing to the GT-R's dual clutch gearbox, the GT-R will just inspire much more confidence in turns and it is indeed a lot quicker. Things like fit and finish, overall "feel" and of course the exhaust note are superior in the C63 though. It exudes a more business minded appeal than the track-oriented supercar vibe emitted by the GT-R. If you have any more specific questions about the two I'd be happy to answer. As you can see I love talking about the cars.

Test drove the Quattroporte twice, when it first came out and again after the engine was retuned. Underpowered and overpriced.
Now the Granturismo looks very sexy. One of my friends picked one up a year ago. However, all show and no go...

I completely agree here, also the Greddy powered GTR has also now gone 9's on a stock bottom end. WOW!! But the C63, def. exudes much more of a classier image, feel, fit and finish, it's hard to beat a German car on these points.

My 2 neighbours have (2 brothers of eachother) have 2 new Maserati Quattroportes. The facelift model. The car before were 2 non-facelifted Quattroportes! This car really sounds like Ferrari. It especially sound nice at a cold day morning! But hea, I'd prefer a S63 AMG! It sounds even more monstrous!

Before I bought my C63, I found a good deal on a used 2006 Gransport. The sound of that alone made me pitch a tent. Then I went on a test drive where it broke down and left us stranded lol.

A new season is coming out? I thought they ended the series with the 6 season.

Entourage Premier June 27th 1030 ET
There was a Quattraporte as a recent car show for $40K. It had an incredible competition audio system installed that was beautifully done and cost $60K itself. It was killing me not to grab it. I knew the owner and he babies all of his cars.
