Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
OkThat's a lot of revs. I dont like golfs.

The car now has 205,000km on the clock.Now you've said that of course the clutch pack will fry itself.
Sorry. I forget VW owners are sensitive about FPT DCTs being more reliable...Stop trying to equate Fiat-Alfa-Italian ownership experiences with others...
How many warranty claims was that againNope. Not really.
We just have different expectations.
That I totally agree wth. Alfa dealers are fucking useless and Fiat Chrysler Australia is one of, possibly the, worst outfit in the industry.I expect things to go wrong, I also expect things to be resolved fairly quickly. And I expect that issues be broadly known & have fixes because of the mostly decently equipped & supported local dealerships with a large customer base. My VW dealership has dealt with everything so well I use all the fault/fix situations I've had as a positive, not a negative.
Whereas with an Alfa...
Skoda Yeti diesel DSG 6 speed wet with 150k and no hiccups. Smooth as silk.MkV golf gti DSG going strong with 200,000 on the taco.
Hifi can vouch for how smooth that car was.
I like golfs.
That's one I'll try to watch surreptitiously today in between checking election results and not getting any work done. Looks like a great collaboration - always thought Johnny would make a great TG presenter - he was funny af on Fifth Gear.Oh this is good...
I would trade the hybrid drive for suspension that didn't try to kill me with lift off oversteer personally (and I like a little lift off oversteer, but faaaark...). Sounds good though!I've posted another video of this car earlier:
If you are going to build your own racecar, may as well engineer the entire thing yourself, with a paddle-shift gearbox, 9000rpm V6 ZQ motor with hybrid electric power.
Fucking. Mental.
Fark, yeah well when that breaks traction it's gonna swing out pretty quickly! I didn't watch more than about 30 seconds of the vid to be fair, jusr chanced upon the bit half(ish) way through where he nearly loops it real hard. Kudos to him for the build work, but interesting to see if some more suspension tuning/mods could calm it down a bit in the long term...There was a reason for that - it's explained in the first video.
Pulls 2.2+G in corners!
That car is crazy looks and sounds great too.I've posted another video of this car earlier:
