Sadly we don't get Alpha's in the States... although I see older models around on occasion. [/QUOTE]You will in 2005. Yay!!! [/QB][/QUOTE]Just read a review... looks like a nice ride, but FWD right? Looks like they took a clean looking sedan and rev'd it up. Interesting that they chose all the same components I chose when I decided I wanted to make my pig of a Z28 handle and stop as well as it goes. Bilstien/Eibach's for the bumps and Brembos for the stops. I can certainly attest to the quality of these components.

The stock goes 0-100 in 5.6 seconds. For less than 25 grand. *drool..* The STi looks like it's gonna be great.

IMO, the WRX is just kickass - both in dollar/value terms and in straight performance. The Mitsu's are just overrated, and the Audis are too expensive.

And since I'd be doing all the fixing on my own cars, I'd take the Soob hands down - Mitsu has absolutely NO consideration for the mechanic.

The review for the normal GTA is here. Just add AWD and an extra 50bhp (for a total of 300bhp) to that - it should go from 0-100 in less than 6 secs actually - maybe about 5.5 or so, which is pretty damn good by any calculation - and it's great on twisty, windy roads as well, with 1.7 turns lock to lock.

The great thing about Alfa Romeo is they make supercar performance available to the masses - the GTA gives you BMW M3/M5 type performance for three-quarters of the price.

Talking about this one, right?



Not your typical MG. Here's my sister's one:




One's a chick's car, the other one is most definitely a bloke's car.

For the price of that car, 4 chicks better come with it! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Gotta admit, it's a great car though it's totally impractical. If I had about 40-50 mill to throw around I'd probably have one.
