Hellcat new or used. Sublime or Plum Crazy.

Not a big fan of the 350R. It's nice and has great styling but there have never been Fords in my garage. It's a house rule. Lol

You would seriously rule out a fantastic car like the GT350 just because it's a Ford? You even said you liked the styling :iono:

I'm the same. I think the GT350 looks nice and the sound is incredible. But I will not have a ford in my garage ever. I am a GM guy.

I would SERIOUSLY consider a slightly used C7Z. Most likely, you will be able buy one of them for the same money that a new ZL1 will be at when they do finally hit the lots, probably less.

Maybe an A8 Hellcat... not sure about that one though.

But if the 6G ZL1 is ridiculously priced, I would not hesitate to buy a '17 2SS and enjoy the car, maybe install a blower to make things a little more interesting.

My boss has a Cayman GT4. He bought a 911 and a Cayenne last year, then had to enter some sort of lottery system to have a chance at buying the GT4.

He just took delivery a few weeks ago.

The 4c was on my hit list before I bought my ZL1, but when I found out it was tap shift only that crossed it right off.

This guy does a great review subtitles in english. A must watch.

As far as reliability, a broken Alfa has been poorly, or improperly maintained. Maintained correctly they are as reliable as anything out there.
I have always owned at least one and never have suffered a breakdown in 30 years of drivng them. Especially with the older cars where this undeserved rep came from, you have to know how maintain them.

Are they a bit quirky yes but once you know what they need to stay happy you will a hard time finding a car more rewarding to drive. Treat it like a disposable toyota, your going to have issues.

I was really thinking about the alpha and was pretty excited to try something new...until they decided there would not be a manual. That crossed it off the list REAL quick!

The Giulia looks like it'll be a great car but it's SO different from the 4C! If someone is looking at the M4 or C63, I'd definitely say to check out the Giulia. But if someone is looking hard at the 4C, more natural competitors would be the Boxster, Vette, and Lotus Evora.

I got a GT350 to drive until I get my ZL1 first Ford I ever purchased and so far not disappointed. Paid MSRP and sent it to Borla they just did LT headers and ATAK cat back sounds insane. Fun car only regret is I had left knee surgery and the clutch is not my friend. So I will probably sell it when I get my ZL1.

Yep. My wife can't drive a stick though I have no issues with it. I would have to get the Camaro first, the HC and then the Stang. Maybe I could park it way in the back and pretend it's a Tucker. Lol

Yep tapshift only in the 4c was not the greatest of ideas. I have to have a manual so the Giulia will fit the bill just fine. Im glad they finally returned o their roots of making a drivers car. If you watched the video I linked even the Italians are happy about it.
