One reason *not* to lower your Maserati...

...after a very anxious moment the other night. I took my son out for pizza after his soccer game (no, pizza not allowed in the car, of course :wink:), and went to park. As I pulled in to a relatively normal sized curb, I heard the painful sound of the front cowling being ground and torn. :shock: I slowwwwwlllly backed away (not easy in a CC, I tell you) and prepared myself for the worst. :cry: Visions of UPS packages from Italy danced through my head along with large checks. :roll: As I crouched to look, the sky opened up and sun rained down upon me as I found only a minor scratch in an invisible location. :D But, lesson learned that I need to be careful. If the Maser had have been lowered, even half an inch, the outcome would have tearful... :idea:

Just thought I'd pass it on to those of you who won't be trailering your Maser to the track and need to actually park it.

One reason to lower the car : during the test of my next new GT (not lowered), I (re)discover the car understeer a lot, the front wheels skid a lot. Some others people said after a track day the front tyres was destroyed. My previous car was lowered, the car oversteer a bit at high speed and the front tyres wear less than the rears.
That's why I asked to lower my new car...
