1) Most of those kids don't even know the name Maserati, much less have ever
seen a "real" Maserati.
2) I'm assuming they'd have to actually be at an event in order to not
return because they were beaten by some feared marque. Have you ever seen a
Biturbo? Not exactly an autocross vehicle that inspires fear...
