Interesting things with the manual:
- No need to lift the accelerator to upshifts
- Automatic rev match on downshifts, but will recognise if the driver heel&toe and will not activate then

If there wasn't ALFA Romeo there wouldn't have been Ferrari so to speak. Enzo worked(pre war) for ALFA as an engineer.

A great brand and I'm happy to see them coming back with rwd platforms!





Cheers

The mid engine V12 Procar is legendary, like the V12 (for the McLaren F1) X5!

Indeed I've done my bit in what concerns the "thou shalt own an Alfa Romeo" commandment thing. Simply love the brand.
