Nice write-up Alvin, class act. The limitless size of blog pages often lead folks to over-speak.
Your “less is more” tribute said a lot more. Gorgeous car.

Thanks Ferg!
I guess I should avoid telling you that the follow-up blog post will be comprehensive

sidebar-I did get to drive it and I got chills. So much history!

Hah, there ya go. Looking forward to it, as always.
That G-Nose changes the look, so "scale model Ferrari", or period Maserati (especially with the wires) is absolutely gorgeous when done well, as that one certainly appears. I am NOT a yellow car guy, but that is one for which I would make an exception.
( I wonder if the G-Nose changes the propensity for the Z to lift its nose at speed, driving the install of an air dam... )

The G-nose, while reportedly improving aerodynamics it also hampers airflow to the radiator!

True if no aero on the front lower zone and no finished proper ducting to seal off the gaps. But with those things corrected........
