Maserati car club Track day today - tight twisty track (Winton), great punch/torque and drive from LSD out of corners but too softly sprung and it scrubbed out the front tyres quite badly after 3 sessions. Packed up early and went home - shame only 40 cars in 2 groups so would have had heaps of sessions.

Needs tighter suspension and semi slicks to work on track. Maybe some negative camber as well. But Rather than chasing the slippery slope of track mods and ruining daily drive ability, I'll just keep it a road car where it's brilliant. Just proves the point again that a good road car is not normally great on track and vice versa.

If you adaptive, try Eibach or H&R springs. I did and it sorts out the softness you refer to. If money no object then coil overs.
