Trancas C&C today. My favorite car was this factory lightweight Sprint Veloce. Asked the old man owner what they did differently to make it lightweight. His list went like, "plastic windows, aluminum hood, doors and trunk lid. They did some stuff in the motor and the seats are lighter too." I guess this '56 was the answer by Alfa when Porsche kicked their ass in the '55 Mille Miglia. Apparently, they returned in '56 and kicked some serious ass, even beating the 1600cc Porsches with this 1300... so cool...

I want to see the curb weight of this lightweight version, considering that the regular Giulietta sprint is well under 2,000lbs.

We figured he spent at least 6 figures.
Old man owner said it was about 1800#Simon

The Alfa Thread
Trying to convince my friend to buy a Milano... post some cool pics please!
We were at another AROSC event this weekend and I met a passionate Alfisti.
Guys name is Dino. Named his son Dino also haha
In order the white car was a full, wild race car. I got to ride in it and it was an absolute riot. Twin Plug motor, all the goodies EFI, carbon, sequential gearbox. WILD. Middle GTV was also a twin plug car, had Webers, and crankfire ignition. Full interior, stereo and a whole host of suspension mods. Final one on the other end also had a 2L swapped in but was full analog. Webers, distributor and just springs and shocks. He has the stock 1300 tucked away because its a rare aluminum bodied veloce.
Loved this theme. He even had the blue light flashing as he was going around the track
And because this is r3v, this E30 competed against a group of Mazda’s (3 miatas and 1 RX7) and it totally dominated them. Long straights on Big Willow really helped him pull away

I kinda dig that Sprint. Its well sorted, just needs the cosmetics taken care of. I think the person who rolls the dice will be surprised with how much car there actually is there.
My car currently sits about the same with the Alfaholics springs. I'm really curious how its going to drive.
