Interesting... thanks for the first hand feedback.

In sport mode the suspension is borderline harsh but still allows too much body roll, in standard mode it bobbs like a Buick. The steering doesn't have very much feel either though it is decently weighted. On the upside the engine is simply fantastic, the sound is orgasmic, and the car is beautiful inside and out.
Overall it just isn't very well harmonized. Race engine, race gearbox, soggy handling. With a stick I would like it more, but still wouldn't love it. I'm getting ready to sell mine because it just doesn't do it for me, frankly I enjoy driving my RX8 and 911 much more. It's much more GT than sport, and it's not for me.

I have been semi-shopping 02-06 GT Coupe's I am terrified of the F1 transmissions.
The prices on the Maserati Coupes have become stupid cheap now running $19-26k
I am going to have to wait out a renovation project on my house before I pull the trigger on a trident.
