Alfa Romeo Giulia, including 510 hp Quadrifoglio Verde M3 competitor

CantCatchMe · 11-22-2015, 04:55 PM

This car will be amazing! I've been raving about it for some time now. This will be on my list of what I may want to purchase in 2-3 years once they start producing.

Really looking forward to seeing this one in person. I hope it doesn't look overly tall like the Challenger and Chargers can appear to me.

This car is so bad ass.

Looks great on paper, will be interesting to see how reliable it is and how well it is built. Both will probably be Alfa's biggest struggle.

First he pretends to know Camaros (he thinks they have leaf springs lol) and now he pretends to know Alfas? Maybe he should stick to the LOL Pic threads and leave the car threads for the car guys

Don't know where you get "2x the price for an M3". Spec out a 335i (340i now) with roughly equivalent options to a base M3 (which come pretty loaded) and you're looking at an MSRP difference of less than $10k.

Also, the ATS-V is what you mean here. The CTS-V is more of an M5 competitor. Don't know where you're finding new CTS-V's selling for mid $60k.

I don't own a new BMW (I know better...I let other suckers eat the depreciation). A comment was made about my 335. To get a comparable M3 would have cost me ~2x as much, at which point I could scoop up a comparable CTS-V for the same money.

I don't see how your opinion on the used car market is at all relevant to the new Alfa competitor for the current M3.

Again, if you had any reasonable level of reading comprehension, I was responding to a comment someone made towards me, which had NOTHING to do with the new M3 and never mentioned the Alpha.

My initial comment was regarding the NEW M3/M4 and not being impressed by it. My subsequent responses had nothing to do with it. Get it now or is there a better way I can spell it out for you?

This is the kind of the thread where u you will only find non f80/f82 owners in

No Video of the time around the Nordschleife yet, while there is a Video of the M4 GTS making it in 7:28 a whole 11 seconds faster then Alfas claimed time for the giulia. This is gonna be interesting.

GTS is a stripped M4 with no rear seats, minimal equipment, etc., don't think it's in the same league.

How so? The power/weight ratio is exactly the same. Considering that, 11 seconds are a huge difference!

I thought Jörg looked like he was taking it easy and not a seasoned race car driver. Good driver nevertheless.

Power to weight ratio wise it is the same league

I dont see how you can argue having backseats making it okay to be 11 seconds slower.

The Giulia QV is a complete new development, there was so much big talk about how innovative the active aerodynamic features are, the FERRARI developed engine, rather light, etc.

Then they present better specs (More Power, Lighter) then an M4/M4 and claim (no Video) to be so much faster on the nordschleife.

BMW then evens up the numbers on paper (power/weight ratio) with the GTS and gives Alfa a spanking.

Looking at the power/weight ratio and the gap on the nordschleife makes it a no brainer which car is performance wise the better car.
