    This will get interesting as the 8C's motor can easily make 525hp.

    It's the HP number that people care about. That's why it will be limited to a # less than the 430 replacement and the Dino.

    Those that do the hp/lbs are fewer than those that only ask: "How Much HP????" but they are often happier...

    I agree with you there. I love the horsepower wars, but many modern cars are becoming pigs and thats why everytime I get in a lightweight car, regardless of power, it feels more alive. The 8C should be a blast to drive.

    Nice !!

    Are you getting it through a US dealer or through la famiglia ?

    My dad was interested but he doesnt know where to look. I told him maybe CC or WWC or Miller could help him ?

    Hope all is well with you !

    Have you decided on a colour yet, or will all of them be red?

    Thanks, it's hard to tell the difference between rosso alfa en 8c red in the picture, but the Rosso Alfa is gorgeous!

    Likely as the Paris car but I did ask the designer to let me know if he had any thoughts.

    Call me mad, but I think it would look great in a dark metallic blue...
