    The Blue Weston's car is the car Host Kwech drove against Jon Morton's BRE 510. Yeah, I only was out there for part of one day but it was cool.

        this car coulda beena big win.

        There is so much wrong with that its not funny. First off, recycle the engine. Secondly, the stupid negative camber is due to the totally destroyed suspension geometry that comes with lowering the car from stock. Roll Center goes to hell faster than a person defiling a church would when you lower them. The front end goes WAY below ground level, and the rear still doesn't' get low enough. I don't even want to know what spring rate he has on there. Mine was lowered and still blew through its travel with 1400lb front springs. Mine wasn't lowered nearly that much. Once again, we see someone has bought the wrong car and F-ed it up. I have to wonder how many oil pans he's cracked, and whether or not he's hung the front crossmember up on a speedbump.

              I think I have pics of that somewhere. I'll have to look. I have a couple pics of a Typo 33.

                Well, that didn’t take long. What almost certainly are video screencaps of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia sport sedan have appeared on Autoforum.cz and Autoblog Netherlands. No official details yet besides the 510-horsepower Quadrifoglio version, but here’s the car. (Updates below!)




                So yeah my pants are getting tight, fiat pls US delivery.

                RWD 510hp Turbo 6 with a 0-60 of 3.9s? Ill take two.

                  Is it real? We've seen so many renderings and fake prototypes. It does look like a functioning car in those pics. I thought they didn't want to use "Giulia" because no one gets that.

                  So a little F10 in the headlights? Or is that the new 300 in the headlights. Kind of standard taillights, but not ugly.

                  A little 3-series in proportions…not a bad thing either.

                  500hp? Seriously? That will make people notice.

                      Thats the real deal, just unveiled at milan this week.

                      Its alfas own chassis from what im reading everywhere RWD or 4WD 510hp twin turbo V6.

                      It better have chrome runners ;)

                      IMO Alfa is coming back, hope it makes US production, I could see myself easily picking one up in 4 years after college and they are down to 30k.

                      Better looks then current BMW M3/M4 lineup imo, im not a fan of BMWs huge ass grilles and lights.

                        Recent rendering… pretty much the 4C openings adapted to a sedan...

                          I wouldn't mind a 159 in the US either tbh, still a handsome car.
