I got smoked by a BMW 4 series. Not a M4. But just a regular 4 series.
The Mazzy is for show only. It has damn nearly zero performance in it whatsoever.
When I had my Z06, GTR, and Maserati in my garage, everyone stared at the Maserati. So, it does win in the looks/exotic dept.

The Maseratis are more of a GT/Daily driver/weekend cruiser car than their counterparts. They probably shouldn't be bought with the intention to be really fast.
*EDIT*
Alright you got me googling, looks like the 4.2L V8 Maseratis use the F430 block but everything else is specific to the Maserati (And specific to the F430), but they are completely built by Ferrari's engine shop. It was dubbed the F136 engine it looks like. And officially, was put into the Maserati first in 2002 and didn't get used in a Ferrari until the F430 in 2004. However, the block being the same, the internals and structure of the engine is radically different. Maserati F136 engines are crossplane crankshaft engines, whereas the Ferrari F136 engines are flatplane crankshaft engines. But, they are all built in Maranello. That would explain the power and revving differences. And why the F430 makes a lot more power and sounds a lot better
