seriously quick for a 4.................

but ! "my Alfa romeo does 190" just doesn't have the same ring to it as the old JW classic

still, wouldn't mind taking one for a spin.

Not too shabby!

Even worse to drive than the standard item then!....

Can't wait for the Maser based Alfa 6C, now that looks like a proper car...

Nothing wrong with the standard item, drives just fine! If it didn't I would have flogged it by now, and made a profit.

The Pogea clone ECU has been around for a while now. The best bit is that it can be swapped in and out in a matter of minutes. It's not a complicated 'piggy back' chip, it's a pure like-for-(nearly)like replacement.

The car is fast enough as it is - zero to sixty in 4.2 secs if you use Launch Mode - so I don't see the need for the chip in day-to-day driving, other than for bragging rights down the pub.

It won't hold a light to nice old school 3200GT on a fast road trip to Southern Europe... we'd be ready to party whilst you would most likely be in hospital!

Horses for Courses I suppose!

Surely a 4C and a 3200 are such different cars, they're impossible to compare?

Didn't you post that picture of the red one before Nick.....Horrid body kit.....4c really doesn't need that...
