So...the better question is why not buy a Z51 Corvette?

I fail to see how this is superior to just etching a unique QR code into each casting at the first machining step...

I want my 0:16 back.

You have to see, Alfa is a lot like Aston Martin. Performance is important but character is the utmost standard for these cars. It won't perform as well as it's counterparts, but it honstly won't matter. It's an Alfa, dare i have to say more?

I didn't know "making it rain" on strippers was considered "work".

53 combined vs 261 (probably closer to 200 EPA)
