    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 !

    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...
