So what's happened to the Alfa test track and the policy of not releasing a design until the Alfa test drivers approved it ??? !!!

Thanks for nothing Fiat.

Maybe adding 140 bhp will fix the handling.

I suppose all that means is that the WHOOPS handling will come up twice as quick..maybe it just needs the Yank solution. Chrome it.

It's not a Porsche, so get rid of the on board computer it doesn't need one, set the dampers for normal every day road conditions and driving, slightly soft, allowing the chassis to do it's job, after all it's a rebodied Maserati with the gearbox at the rear, then see what Barbara Cartland has to say, it would be very different encounter with the 8C.

Fixed it for yah  :P
