c6 or Maserati Gt s
I have my 2007 c6 modded with wide rear fenders, wheels and more modifications
It has 27k miles and I love the car
I really like Maserati grand tourismo look and sound too
So I found 2011 Gt s with 3 k miles for 82000 in a very good shape
they are giving me for my car 23000
And also I have trade my brand new can am spyder in order to afford this car
I did not drive one yet and not sure if I will like it
Do you think that it would be upgrade from c6?
would you do it?
I really afraid to regret
Also for that money I could get few other nice cars maybe even new z 06
But again Maserati is different
What do you think?
here is my car

A plus is the 4 year warranty.
If it were me, I'd be finding out as much as I could about reliability. Italian cars have a 100 year history of being maintenance hogs, but perhaps I've not noticed how improved they are. I would also be sure that there is excellent parts/service available close by.
It's entirely possible that I'm just being paranoid and close minded.

A little slow 0-60mph = 4.6 sec in a GT makes me pause a moment and wonder if keeping the C6 is the better choice. Or upgrading to a 2013 C6 if you need something different.
But hey -- if you like it -- do it...you only live once.

The most unreliable car in the world. Clutches every 10k miles at a cost of $5000+, suspension work etc. my friend couldn't wait to get rid of his, always in the shop and constant headaches. He paid $7000 to have his suspension fixed with only 22k miles on the clock. I would run, not walk.

The Maserati is a gorgeous car, and sounds amazing. No, it's not as fast. But it looks a billion times better.
Personally, I'd try the Maserati out. You've already experienced a Corvette, a C7Z06 will be basically the same - just faster.

thanks
so far I test drove today 2010 quatroporte S
amazing car, sound, acceleration, interior quality.
I was impressed
need to drive the grand turismo too
I know vette is faster and all, but this thing is special in a very different way

It's a MASERATI..there is no comparison to any Corvette anywhere anytime. One is an exotic type Italian made,hand sewn interior leather etc....one is a Chevy,2013,2014 or 15 including the new Z06,doesn't matter. Get the Maserati
here is your car,you didn't put the link in correctly.

You are comparing apples and oranges....
The new Z06 is having over heating issues....so personally, I would stay away from the first year.
If I had the cash I would get the GTs...no questions asked. Amazing looking car...One thing to think about is the maintenance on the GTs...Can you afford the upkeep?
