My only advice would be to drive one first. I drive the RX8 or 911 before the Maserati, it just sits. A GT model with the 6-speed manual and conventional suspension (not Skyhook) would be my first choice, then you could add springs, shocks, and sway bars to make it handle like a proper sports car. It's still heavier and softer than a Ferrari, but you'd be a lot closer. BTW, parts costs are terrifying, even buying online.
