    I raced a Maserati

    Not many people can say this, but I got to race a Maserati... I was at the Metro cruise and I pulled up next to him at a stop light with my friend... He looked over at him and nodded toward the road and the Maserati driver thought for a moment and revved his engine and my friend said "it's go time" I revved back and the second the light turned green it was an open road ahead and I took off... Ahead of the Maserati... I was losing him but I was shifting bad and redlined in first and missed the shift and he went passed me... I shifted into second and started gaining on him again... It was one of the coolest moments of my life... Not many people can say that they raced a Maserati, but I don't care that I lost... I raced a Maserati and held my ground in my $1000 PGT

      You're still just a kid, so I won't respond the way I would if you were a few years older....

        Maybe the Probe is fully gutted and turbocharged.

        ...or maybe the guy in the Maserati was wearing a cast on his leg that wouldn't let him press down any harder on the accelerator.

          It's possible. Not likely, but possible. A stripped down and worked probe could potentially keep pace with a maserati. They're not exactly the fastest in the supercar market.

            I don't care really if i gain 'respect' from this or not... it was fun regardless of the outcome and it really makes me want to keep this car for as long as i can and buying this car is probably one of the best decisions I have ever made
