I got the SRT on track, so I know what it is capable of, and I think the Q50 wouldn't surpass it especially braking power.

After I read your review, you ignited the interest in 2.0L Alfa, but your drive experience describe the car that I want to be in everyday driving, a much better version or alternative of G35 sedan which I owned and was very happy with it. I will try to drive any model that will arrive locally and maybe next year after looking at all reliability issues will decide.

Yes sir, if you're looking for a severely competent chassis in a sedan, the Alfa or bust. In a coupe... the Camaro and ATS are quite amazing. What makes the Alfa better than an ATS is the engine and feedback. I really can't see anyone buying any other two cars if performance was your MAIN attribute. I'd loooove to get a 4c, but it's so IMPRACTICAL and small. I need a car at least with Z level interior space. & not broken up in parts like the Cayman. I just gotta carry certain things that I need that hatch type of convenience @ minimum.

Yup I drove ATS and ATS-V and liked them, didn't looked at the Camaro because I hate their owners mentality locally and didn't like its interior, while it has a lot of positive feedback about how they drive. Anyway, I drove ATS-V and CTS-V the same day at a track, prefer the ATS over CTS, Liked how it drives, it is agility and the power delivery, didn't like the muffled exhaust, entertainment system and backseat legroom, would prefer the NA 6.2 over TT 3.6 anyday as fuel efficiency isn't a concern.

Not buying any time soon, but like to start planning very early and take my time until starting buying process. Liked your review on the Alfa and raised my interest in Ti instead of looking at QF only as stated before. Currently looking at the market as a plan to get rid of the SRT soon, and use my SUV for sometime. Trying to see dealers and what is the options, looked at Subaru STI, Mini JCW, Q50 RS, Audi RS3, BMW M2/3/4. Some new and some used, I would prefer to have MT (which some don't offer).

The Infiniti is losing ground so quickly because Infiniti wants to make rolling computers. The Infiniti looks too good for this type of performance neglect even though it to is now a dated machine.
