From Z to A

EZT

I absolutely love these cars and consider them if I ever depart the Z.

Agree, although never selling my Z, this Alfa is a strong contender for my second sports car, love the black too.

Jordo!

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?

Jordo!

Weirdly, 1.5 (pics later)

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

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?

Thank you, kindly

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...







Tuning options appear to be a bit limited, and it comes with a LOT of punch, handling, and grip to get accustomed to, but as I get more familiar with the car we all know I'll begin to fiddle with it

Right now, Im not even sure how to change the air filter

There will be a baseline dyno soon, tho.... then... we'll see where we can go from there

Doesn't need it and no room for it.

Thanks everyone, for the positive comments and well wishes

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

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

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

Thanks!

This is my daily driver -- good thing it's more comfortable to sit in than it looks

I finally learned how to get in and out of the thing without looking too goofy: you have to pretty much fully slide back the seat, then get out and slide it back to whatever feels good on next entry.

Boots vs. sneakers, jacket vs. none; these tiny differences are enough to mean the steering column and seat positioning will probably have to be changed from whatever felt right the last time.

And, I mean, I'm like only 5'7" with perfect posture. I have absolutely no fucking idea how anyone in the 6' or taller range is getting in and out They must all buy the spider and just climb in and out the open roof

Anyway, a few more pics, including a shot of the interior. It's a tight fit. With the 4C, you wear the car as much as drive it









Oh, yeah... and this is what it's capable of in the right hands
