No but the jump suit does !..... I feel the need for speed

Planning to be there. I've made a new acquisition which I hope to bring

Can't get over the sound it throws out

Thanks. I'm booked in for the track assuming I can get a helmet so you wil hear her then. Happy to show anyone around it. They sound like a Stradale but more extreme. It has the same gearbox, engine as the GTS / Stradale. Its much lighter though with carbon body panels. Finish is poor, switches are cheap and it rattles. But there are only 500 out there so you can't be too harsh on Alfa. Zero deprecriation and servicing is the same as maserati so costs are reasonable. This was bucket list car and I think it is the most stunning and best sounding car in the last decade.

That is one stunning car - top man!

Lol are you for real?

 

[Contigo]

Same engine as my GTS but slightly different tone. Lovely motor Mike!

 

[MrMickS]

Lovely. Is that the one from JCT600? We looked at it a few time just didn't have the cash.

 

[hilts uk]

Do I need a helmet? Not gone one and even I was a passenger I guess I'll be needing one?

 

[GeoffCapes]

Ive just ordered one from Demon Tweeks. £81.45 delivered. Suitable for track days etc.

Just the job, especially if we're going to need them for Brunty. Can also take it to karting as well.

 

[CatmanV2]

Are we going to need them for Brunty?
