      Words cannot express how much I adore this car and all the work and love you've put into it. I am going to have to get rich purely to buy one and drive it every single day for the rest of my life. It's the most beautiful car in the world. Good job chaps.

      It does now but back then it had a 2 litre TS with two Weber 45s on it and 216 bhp. We rebuilt the whole car a few years ago. It's now got 240 bhp from a 2.2 litre Twinspark on throttle bodies and the whole thing weighs 70 kg less even though it now has a full interior, and has much more developed suspension. Back then it was around 250 bhp/ton, it's now 290/ton. In current GTA-R 290 form it's lapped the 'Ring in less than 8 minutes. It's a very different car now!@@gaussrifle1988

    You can really see that the Porsche is struggling with its weight despite the fact that it has obviously more power but in the corners, it's just being blown away by the Alfa. Nimble and very agile, there were corners and lines that the Alfa took without any hesitation but would've been detrimental to other cars. It just turned and grips the road like a bubblegum.
