Agree, although never selling my Z, this Alfa is a strong contender for my second sports car, love the black too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Finally home... more pics, details, and commentary soon (including dynos, ASAP), but in regard to the sparseness of the interior -- it's got red leather seats, carbon fiber everything, and the rest is not-too-flimsy flat black plastic.
It's the interior of a dog-fighter biplane. You cram in, fire it up, point and shoot. All else is irrelevant once you hear the engine rumble. Each gear shift is a violent bark; throttle action yields the shrieking whoosh of a turbo absent of any discernible lag. This is not a car for people who want creature comforts -- its a bantam weight in-fighter; lean, fast, hits harder than expected. It comes roaring out of the corner on fleet feet, blasting the chin and ribs of opponents with endless breath. If you love the Z, but thought it too small, buy a 'vette. Mustang, or Camaro. If you love the Z, but wished it had been more nimble without sacrificing any power, this car is for you. If there's something missing, I couldn't force my brain to see it. You become too hypnotized by it all to think of such things. The car is, essentially, perfect. Minor discomforts become meaningless as soon as you get moving. It's a marvel. It's a god damned marvel. |
Well damn.. you covered it quite eloquently... you even got my excitement up a bit with that titilating commentary..... I guess there’s only one question left... How many cupholders?
:driving: |

It's got a little leather case (with an old-timey treasure chest-like key for it, no less!) suitable for sunglasses and cell phone between the seats, and I think a pocket of some sort on the back of both seats. The storage space is limited to a small space in the engine bay (?!) and explicitly limited to like 33 lbs. It came with a fancy-shmancy red car cover that is made of some fabric nicer than most of my clothes :icon17: |
I like to joke around a bit (well actually most of the time), but I just went to the Alfa website to look at pictures and specs and that car is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
Extremely nice. I want a ride... |
Sooooooo, how long will this thing stay stock?

Here's a few more pics -- I'm still getting to know the car. Lots of things to fiddle with... haven't even driven in Dynamic or Race mode yet... more pics soon... http://www.the370z.com/members/jordo...218-085923.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/jordo...218-090017.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/jordo...218-101530.jpg Quote:
Right now, Im not even sure how to change the air filter :icon17: There will be a baseline dyno soon, tho.... then... we'll see where we can go from there :stirthepot: Quote:

BTW, if anybody here wants my Z, you can find it here https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=194341729 Also, if anyone here decides to goes for it, let me know by PM and I'll give ya some helpful hints :tup: I'd definitely like see it go to one of the gents on here -- that car will out turn, out brake, and out accelerate any other stock NA Z with ease :tup: Oh, I'll also have some left-over Z odds and ends for sale soon too. |
Nice car, they remind me a little of a Lotus Evora but lighter, which I would love to have as a spare toy.
Enjoy |
