Good point, hadn’t thought of that aspect. Some people are no good in an Alfa - or any Ital car.
Does your comment also apply to French cars? I just bought a nice 208GTi at auction interstate but haven’t driven it yet.
My first word was “Cutomline” apparently when pointing at a Cusso. Dad loved telling the story and I have been dialled in to cars ever since. When I built my ENDURANCE weight race car (separate thread) I wanted RWD, lots of grunt and lots of grip. LS (Thanks Profi) solved the shit Rotary seal issue and the only other FD RX-7 in the country that was as fast was a WTAC FD that had WTAC aero to do the dialling in.
I always wanted a bum dialled into the grip and it was a great time in my life.
Update on Giulietta: I love it more and more. Much easier to live with than any of my 12x S550’s. Last time I drove my MY23 GT I minor damaged the front bar at walking pace hitting a council rock garden that I didn’t see OVER long bonnet from drivers seat.
F@(k!g thing still in workshop because radar dislodged.
Must be getting old.
