I for one and looking forward to the detailed discourse on how the 996 is the new Alfa Giulia and/or how a 20 year old interior simply does not compare in quality to a 3 year old car
I would also like to start a pool for when one of us mods changes his tag to "Blow me asshole"
Welcome Johnny. We have high expectations on the effect you'll have on the forum
It's been along time since I was permanently banned from Rennlist...and I never was told what the specific
thing I said or did, was. I tried to contact the mods but to no avail. But you do bring up one of my favorite
remarks...wish I could remember what it was all about.
The Giulia is just great to drive. The same hp and better torque compared to the 996.1...and from just two
turboed liters. The brakes, the steering, the balance...blah blah blah...are just outstanding. But when everything is electronic
you get a great problem...when one thing goes, the car wants to shut everything down. If Alfa had put out a
coupe, I'd probably be in it. But they haven't, and if they do, it will be priced much much more than I am willing
to pay. And last but not least...the owners of the company...Fiat Chrysler...Mussolini meets Edsel Ford...I just don't have
faith in their future. So it is time for the Alfa to go.
Though the 996.1 is "modern" it is also very analog. And it goes more than fast enough for me. And all for the
price of a weekend on Jeffrey Epstein's island I can have a very nice and satisfying car.
