    I agree. The thread started a conversation that then twisted and turned over multiple subjects. No one got their nose out of joint. Opinions were aired, knowledge was shared. This is one of the reasons I particularly like the 308-328 section

    I noticed the new Giulia Quadrifoglio has a 90° V6. Alfa claims it has nothing to do with the V8 of exactly the same bore & stroke as the Portofino..

    Well, Paul...
    I bet that with a 90° degree angle, it will not sound half-as-good as the fabulous old "Busso" V6, will it?

    No, and certainly not with all the acoustic baffling you get in modern cars. I dearly loved the Busso in my old 166, made all the better with an inox exhaust

    Inox exhaust onto a "Busso" V6? I knew you were a poet...

    Completely agree, most discussions here are interesting W/O someone accusing for hijacking.
    Though keeping me out of politics and religion...
    Martin, Germans are not widely known for their humour, but you seem to have that talent!

    Thanks Tommy. But I was repeatedly banned, and meanwhile lifetime banned, from local newspaper forums for this :)
    Not, that I somehow care. So I got more time for FChat :)

    Best Regards

    Maybe that's a reason to keep out of politics and religion, those subjects are even more subjective than lifespan of timing belts;)

    I don't know, I'd trade my 328 GTB for an F8. :)

    digging up an older thread.
    I had a chance today to see the F8 in person & test drive it. I see little of the 308 in it. It does look a lot like a 488 as seen here. I should have taken a picture of a 308 for a side-by-side comparison like above. Maybe I can get back up there for it :)

    Still, it looks great. And the power is amazing. Others have said it isn't a driver's car. It clearly has a lot of driver assists and creature comforts. I do like it better than a std 458 & 488. The smaller engine sitting lower did look a little odd to me.
