I race a step-nose Giulia (with lots of Alfaholics bits) and can empathise with Chris over the traction challenge - and I have “only” 200bhp and weigh 830kg. Often out-qualify more powerful Porsches only to be out-dragged off the line. People often comment on my engine note too - so iconic. And the Giulia just looks amazing from every angle.
