One of my friends/coworkers is also here and just got a Masseratti Quattraporte and let me take it out for a spin. It's a 2017, very nice interior and pretty quick :notbad:

It's a turbo V6 so not quite the V8 but it does sound really good. Could be a little louder, IMO, but maybe it has a sport mode or dual mode exhaust that I didn't activate.

Deets on the blower?
1.9L LSA Blower, Camaro ZL1 upper lid, 2.55" upper pulley. Should be a bolt on 12psi with the pulley setup.

Currently not sure about porting it or doing exhaust/cam because of how nice the car is to drive.

Last I checked, you had two willing and able LS motors sitting in your garage ready for the same treatment.

:excited: :burnout:

:lol: I would have loved to, but unfortunately this weekend is booked and next weekend I take it on the journey to Maine so I don't exactly think a ~600 test drive would make sense if something happened.
