They used to be notoriously unreliable. No more.

Default holy torque-steer batman

200 horses up front sounds like some nasty torque steer without some sort of differential to compensate, and still. Take the Saab Viggen for a ride to understand what I'm talking about.

The old Alpha is a rocket. I followed one from Litchfield, CT to Limerock once and was surprised how fast that b!tch could go.

Can you even get an Alhpa in the States anymore?

Default Doubt it'll come to the US

I mean, Alfa themselves have to come back to the US first!
