I'm as psyched as you seem to be! What a fantastic color. I wasn't aware they came in that kind of red. Gorgeous. That was the precise color I always wanted for my MGB GT, back when I had one that was Halloween Pumpkin Orange with a flat black hood, since the guy who sold it to me raced it and was blind in one eye and couldn't take the glare off the hood!
My GS photos can be seen in the posts by Maserati of Minneapolis over the last couple of weeks in their efforts to advertise its sale. Black on black, just like Sweater's. Love to compare notes as we get accustomed. Is this your first Maserati? Feel free to email me.

PS: In checking out "Members List", I was curious as to what constitutes the various ratings like "...off the scale" and "...unknown entity" and "on a distinguished road"??
Just speaking w/ TR from Maser of Minn and we're both wondering where you got that paint from. Did you custom order? Doesn't look at all like the stock red for GS model. TR characterized it as "Black Cherry", I say: "Black Cherry Wine"! Either way....it's absolutely gorgeous! Tell us more about it!

Good luck with your new GS.... Feel free to contact me about becoming a member of New York area Ferrari Club (yes we allow members that do not own Ferrari's) We have several parties every year and many weekend runs with our cars.
Thanks for the offer. I'm from South Jersey, right outside (Southeast of)Philadelphia by about 15 minutes. Does that qualify for membership in your NY group? I can recall my membership in the MGB club. My father had a '71 and later a '77, both British Racing Green, and I just had the '73 1/2 MGB GT, w/out the big rubber bumpers and emissions junk. It certainly gave us something to bond over. Clearly, I'm an emancipated man, now that I've finally graduated from MGs to Maserati, 20 years later!! Ferrari next....???? One never knows...do one??
By the way, Scott63, can you share your reasons for moving so definitively away from the Spyder to the GS?? I'm leaving an '04 CC, but that's clearly an upgrade related decision. You're leaving the convertible behind, which complicates the decision matrix a bit. Just curious. You can also email me anytime at carl.underland@carlislemg.com
Thanks,
Carl
