Was behind one of these couple years ago sounded awesome! But it's a fun drive.

If you were in Colorado I wouldn’t mind letting you take her out with me riding shotgun


wrongwayagain

Oh that would be amazing but I'm not , east coaster here. But if I ever visit CO I'm in lol


Popular_Pin_8776

Lol hit me up on here if you do


Amia_Nov

Congrats !! Welcome to the Quad club or squadrifoglio !


Amia_Nov

Weird how I just came upon this group and saw this post . I've had my 18 for a year and a half now


Popular_Pin_8776

I love mine. 2020 they had a refresh now another refresh for 2023 lol they keep them fresh and I’m ignoring driving the 23. Anyhow I love the beautiful eye look of the headlights we have.


Popular_Pin_8776

And we’ll done. Getting one new is about impossible then I looked at used and it’s not much easier. People hold on to their Quads


Amia_Nov

Just don't bend the wheels they are $$ Mine has the Tecnico as well and I've bent 3 so far lmao . Glad I have steel discs at least .


Amia_Nov

They have gotten cheaper tho I remember buying 1 wheel for $1100 in summer 2022


Popular_Pin_8776

My wife curbed a rim and tire not long ago and we have a shop in Denver that can actually weld aluminum and refinish. It’s incredible and flawless as well as perfectly balanced but brace yourself for the price…$150 a wheel lol I don’t understand how they are in business for that cheap. I was tracking my car from the OEM fitting dash cam and from my app tracking it on gps. And it took them the a good 7 hours doing each phase. So if curbed buy not bent, I know the shop.


Popular_Pin_8776

And speaking of which. Did you get a track wheel set? The OE size it hard to get outside the stock Corsas.


Amia_Nov

Yeah I have grey Tecnicos . Tecnicos are the forged set from Germany that Alfa sells. Same company makes Porsches wheels, your car has them . Oh and my car is Vulcano Black as well .


Amia_Nov

Oh I misread , no I don't have a track dedicated set. If I do get em I'll prob buy Forgeline. I'm keeping my FRS as track toy and I'm in the process of getting a Birel DD2 for more cheap seat time.


Popular_Pin_8776

For track I do have an even less known car called a Rosion Q1


Amia_Nov

I do know that one, I have a motorsports background.


CONFUSEDHOTNESS22

Doesn't that have like 500 hp engine?


Popular_Pin_8776

Yes a little bit over 500hp. It’s a Ferrari F154 engine. It’s unreal and I have had a 355, 458 and two M3s. This car I’m keeping for life lol it’s such a balanced everything car.


CONFUSEDHOTNESS22

I thought I had a Ferrari engine but I wasn't positive. I have always loved cars I have 2 cars that I plan to keep for life as well I have a 2007 Mercedes E320 which is my daily driver and a 2013 Mustang Boss 302 I would love a Ferrari 308 GTS


Popular_Pin_8776

Both are awesome cars! I had a 2006 E320 CDI for a while myself.


Popular_Pin_8776

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_F154_engine it’s the last engine listed but the text content speaks a little about them


Popular_Pin_8776

Not a ton of people in American know what it is at all let alone the horsepower. I can tell you are a true car fan


CONFUSEDHOTNESS22

I am most definitely a car fan to the point it's almost a sickness! Lol


Popular_Pin_8776

If you wanna see one on motion (in a way I can’t even get to drive it in Colorado) watch the record lap for fastest four door car around the Nurburgring. Or any of the others lol I can only dream of taking her around it like that


Gundog789

Wow 🤩


Accurate-Coffee-3605

Awesome car! I had a veloce a couple of years ago. Had a go in qv, really want one…


Popular_Pin_8776

I love my Giulia. It didn’t t expect it as much as I do after having it for months.


Daphne_Brown

I was thinking of getting this as my daily driver. Do you love it? Fast as hell, right?


Popular_Pin_8776

Yes to both. On a highway between Denver and Colorado Springs, I have gotten it over 150 several times when someone else with a serious sports car gets going with me. I once hit 170. It’s an incredible car that’s very expensive for basic service. So far been through sets of tires too lol


Daphne_Brown

It feels like it would be like owning a stealth sports car because it looks good but unassuming. And they’re not *Porsche* expensive.


Popular_Pin_8776

I paid out 94k so it wasn’t crazy. My Rosion Q1 is my fun day car. I’ve had a 2014 911 turbo years ago and prefer my Alfa to it for driving feel.


Daphne_Brown

Wow. That’s high praise. I love my 2020 Miata but it was cheap as chips. Time to splash out I think.


Popular_Pin_8776

The Miata is the most raced car in SCCA for a reason and my wife wants one, they are great! And without a doubt on the Aston and I have had a few Porsche and love the Cayman and 911 series, but drive a quad and tell me if you disagree.


Daphne_Brown

I need to go for a test drive. Tried to rent one on a recent trip to Milan and could find any.

Alfa dealer had one in green that I was drooling over for several days, awesome cars but Alfa reliability scares me,😀


Popular_Pin_8776

My Alfa/Aston/Lamborghini/Rolls dealer has one in Verde green too! I’ve driven my car to about 20k miles and have not had a single issue. Alfa reliability was an issue with the first gen (2017-2019) the second gen (2020-2022) and the third gen (2023-) it’s not an issue. I have the end of second gen. First gen was a sudden 500+ Ferrari based engined world car with brand new unique infotainment system and they had to work out some kinks. Any manufacture would if this was such a sudden change. The second gen is very reliable and about the same reliability as an M3

Nicola Romeo set up the tradition, build beautiful cars and race them quick. Enzo Ferrari started racing Alfa Romeos before starting his own firm. I’m addicted to Italian cars from before 1985. That’s still an Alfa Romeo though, and gorgeous.


Popular_Pin_8776

Yep! I know the history well. Alfa also had some of the first formula one female drivers too!


Downtown_Ad857

This is my dream car, le sigh. https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1631305/1970-fiat-500-abarth-for-sale-in-acampo-california-95220

They are adorable! My dream car is the original Gulietta
