Hi, I am the owner. Thanks for all your comments. The exhaust mods for all you enthusiasts out there are DIY, Sports 200cell cats X pipe And I gutted the stock back boxes. The exhaust note is still a work in progress as I am trying to dial out a bit of the rasp but keep a hard edged tone. The sound a car makes is 50% of my driving experience and I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again Misha.
@@dpac7256I have a a heavily modified GranSport - is there anyway to get a hold of you regarding all the weight savings…perhaps email? I have zero social media. From an exhaust perspective….try the Larini decats, x pipe from a GranSport, remove the center resonator (which I think is standard on the 4200 cars) and add Tubi after market rear exhaust.
As a proud GranSport owner, heavily modified, ECU tune, decats, stock x-pipe and rear Tubi mufflers…I love this video…I also took out the A/C and saved 17 lbs. I have the Formula Dynamics Tune and drive by wire enhancement module, lowered and upgraded sway bars. Love this car.
@@ScoR010 Honestly, even with my tune and exhaust peak power is developed at 7,000 RPMs….but, probably safely to 8,000 but I would go any higher…but that’s just me.
Wow, you don't need a pedal cam at all to know what your right foot is doing. I can tell exactly what it's doing by the incredible sound of this engine.
@@ChicagoItalian what's your point? It's a nice GT, with a great sounding engine, but it's not for the track and the performances are outdated compared to modern performance cars. Period.
@@gallicwarrior6548 That’s exactly correct, I am not arguing with you on that, you’ve never been a custodian of these cars and you base your assessment off of a video with a lot of varying factors etc. These cars can be tuned to handle track conditions, even more aggressively so than this car. These cars will do 170/180 all day long without breaking a sweat. Yes, I am a fan man if this marque and why I have one. You should go drive one.
So happy you did this video! I have owned a few of these and posted some videos on them. They aren’t super track set up, they move around a lot but man, you were getting the most out of it and it sounds amazing! My current 4200 is on coil overs but still needs sway bars. Thank you so much for doing a lap in this car !!
Wow from all the cars you tried this my favorite. The sound and feeling you really drive mechanically not through some electronic bull…t makes it so exciting !
My of my first car related memories was hearing some Maserati, not sure which model, but is surely had straight pipes and it took off in downtown Chicago and the noise off the high rise buildings was incredibly immense. I hadn't heard such an exotic noise on the road ever before, growing up in small town Wisconsin. Only loud things are harleys, tractors, and stupid trucks lol
ITB's with a huge DTM airbox is nice, but you know what's even nicer? ITB's through the hood with a clear hood scoop over them, like an old Ferrari 250 TR. Drool.
0:23 me too Misha.. me too i always liked this Maserati. I had car playing cards as a kid where this car was aswell. I dont see that car very often.. its quite nishe, right?
Alright guys, I know you're gonna try and find a Maserati Coupe now. Just a few things to keep in mind. Parts are nigh unavailable on these now, if you get a Duoselect auto, the parts for that are thousands upon thousands of dollars for all the hydraulic controls. Clutch and flywheel kits are about 8k on a good day, the camshaft variators have issues and literally require machine work to sort out. I see very often service bills in the tens of thousands. Happy hunting.
Hi . I m french . In thé beg of eighties I hv been in the dayly neighbour of the Maserati s exclusive import agent near Paris ( Thepenier ) The cost of simple periodic maintenance even before any Electronic devices was already unbelievable !! As far as expenses are concerned , you better get a couple of dancer girls 😁
The clutch for one of these is 1100 pounds right now on eurospares and the only thing that goes wrong with the gear mechanism is failing seals and pipes which can be repaired at any hydraulic shop. Please don’t spread false rumours, these cars aren’t that bad and there’s plenty of second hand spares to keep them going. The control arms are a bit of a problem but there are a number of companies now offering rebuild services
I owned one of these for about 5 years (it's on my channel) and it was by far, the best sounding NA engine I ever heard. Ferrari sound on a Maserati budget. Super fun car and you never ran into another one at any car show.
I went for a ride in one of these a few years ago, We hit a overpass going pretty quickly, the car jumped in the air a little bit, came down and broke some suspension parts in the rear. Was a cool car though, had the Manual and an exhaust that sounded great.
The engine sounds like it's in a small bathroom...I'm not making fun, the engine sounds GREAT. But does anyone else agree? It's got like a 'room tone reverb' sound to it? ... It makes it sound huge! I really love it.
Maserati like Dr. Dre! GO SLOW and FEEL THE BEAT! OHHH, So Lovely! ME. The verber of the trumbostic verve is not always FAST! IT is listening and working to your own GROOVE! THIS IS GROOVTASTIC!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Car sounds absolutely awesome and "raw". Unfiltered Ferrari engines sound absolutely awesome in general. I'm not sure I would go the same route with this one considering this is a GT car which it's main purpose is to be a high-speed cruiser, I would definitely keep all of the sound detonating parts just to make it a bit more comfortable and probably wouldn't straight pipe it but I would change the original exhaust system cause they don't do justice for this engine at all.
Maserati favolosa e il bello è che dall'opinione pubblica è considerata meno sportiva delle concorrenti ...poi la guida Misha e pure le RS devono cedere il passo 😂
If you search M39 ITBs on RUclips you’ll find a guy who put this M39 v8 into his corvette and had custom ITBs w/velocity stacks made for it! He’s had issues tuning it…. 😂
@@The_North0 I know right. My 2010 E63 AMG was faster and a little lighter than the Maserati, even though it was a full size sedan. I got the Maserati as payment for a job. It was better than me being left with nothing. I kept it for 6 months, sold it to a girl who totaled the car the next day.
Haven’t been able to watch for a while. Is this the engineering student that made all the homemade aero stuff for his Vauxhall? Is he working with you now? I have a lot of catching up to do. Awesome to see him again.
If your car sounds like this, your laptime really doesn't matter. In fact I'd say the slower it is, the longer you can enjoy it for. Wonderful car!
Yeah. I was tought exactly the same.
True

Superb job..the engine is like it can rev forever. So much satisfaction just watching it revs to redline. 👍👍👍
The guy in the Kia Rio was properly sending it!😂
Yeah was super surprised at that thing, even the corner exit acceleration seemed good
Used to love driving my 2012 Kia Rio slow but short wheel base with aftermarket tires and rims felt so good
I have a 1.5 crdi with 150bhp, very capable.
@@Soulvex Love my 2015 Rio. Such a fun car to drive. Would love to have it tuned some day
Man that kia rio driver was giving it the BEANS!
Wenigstens einer in dem Video der Auto fahren kann !
@Pharell1986 What?
@laddtryck at least one person in the video who can actually drive a car.
This Maseratti deserves another lap without yellow flags!
Careful the chrysler parts on it may break.
Its a crime
No.
No, it doesn't need another lap with this 'energy' 🙄
Next time less revs and smoother gear change.
I love owner using torque wrench before a cruise

Hey, how much rpm these engines can handle safely? 7.8k? 8k? 8.5k?

Hope to hear your car around fellow chicagoan
Wow, you don't need a pedal cam at all to know what your right foot is doing. I can tell exactly what it's doing by the incredible sound of this engine.
It sounds like an old circular saw from the construction site
For a 400 bhp car it pulled really well and much better than others that claim 600bhp etc. The sound is eargasmic, great drive and video.
Yes sir - these cars pull like a freight train….
yeah, it pulls so well it could not keep up with a 300 hp Estate Seat Leon Cupra...

Hey thats the same series as my car! Finally! I have a gransport version, good to finally see a 4200 series on the ring in your hands misha!
Best sounding vid of the past weeks! I really enjoyed. Congrats to the owner! :)

Ive always thought of Maserati as Ferrari on crack. This ungodly engine sound proves it, absolutely mental and i love it.
Seems like all it needs now are street style bucket seats! Beautiful car. INCREDIBLE sound.
The owner seems like a down to earth guy, more people like him! ✌️ also the sound is just out of this world😮😮
What a car.. i hope it will be again on the channel with a more track oriented setup and another lap with misha without so many yellow's
0:22 misha get ready for slipper from Maggie 😂

The lightness can literally be seen. But i love stock deep sound of this car.
. I also prefer the stock deep sound but I want to mod it louder.

Who needs a sound system on a Maserati anyway, when you have the engine that sings.
Invisible weight reduction is genius.
It's class!
Just exhaust 😂
its certainly not inaudible tho
Gawd that sounds bloody magnificent!
Wow that thing sounds phenomenal 👌

i always liked this Maserati. I had car playing cards as a kid where this car was aswell.

Finally a car that makes music through the exhaust. What a relief after all the obnoxious BMW cacophony.

I've seen that thing fly past that day, sound awesome irl 👌
T.33 - best sounding car ever made.
Proper race car sound!!! Beautiful Maserati!!! 😍
Will you be getting one?
That sounds awesome, makes me want to put an x pipe on my Granturismo. V8 Maseratis sound so nice.

Great video of your car and drive by wire. Any way to get a hold of you via email? I don’t have any social media…I have a modified GranSport.
Amazing sound!!🔥🔥🔥
Great guy and his car.
Jezz that sound is glorius
Das waren noch richtige maseratis einfach geil
For the sim racing audience , sounds (almost) exactly like the Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4 in Assetto Corsa
They are a very similar engine and sound in real life too
What a masterpiece machine!! Love it!
That's some effort to remove the sound proofing, respect! Exhaust is a bit too metallic for me but oh how those revs rise!
Would be fun to go even further in the clubsport tuning.
I went for a ride in one of these a few years ago, We hit a overpass going pretty quickly, the car jumped in the air a little bit, came down and broke some suspension parts in the rear. Was a cool car though, had the Manual and an exhaust that sounded great.
I think some tuned resonators would sound much better than the raspyness of those straight pipes.
Great exhaust sound not heard in cars of today's era.
I loved this car in TDU (RIP) :/ Btw. super nice dude, very nice car.
When I have closed captions on and no talking, engine noise is labeled music. That couldn't be more true .
Planning to change cars at the end of this year and will hopefully make the trip to the Nürburgring next year! 💙

11:23 Several seconds of Maserati and Civic in 6, 7, 8000 rpm harmony.
What a nice car, the weight saving is admirable. 😍
The engine sounds reminds me of BMW S65 a little bit, it does sounds nice but very unexpected from a luxury looking car.
There is a s65 in the background from the beginning of the video
Sounds sooooooooooooooooooooo good.

individual throttle body + ultra lightweight flywheel + shorter gear ratio = endless fun in this car
Way too much shifting
