It was in a crash.
The car is very quick and handles beauifully... but... the true selling point of this car is its cacophonous induction roar. People streets away turn and look as it tears up the road before it in an harmonious melee of controlled angry garbling. If cars were sold on sound alone, this car is better than anything. The twin sparks create a beautifully melodic racing hummmmm at high rpm and a menacing growl at low RPM. Truly the greatest sounding machine in the world.
I have a car the same as yours, I agree the engine sounds great, but wait until you drive a V6 alfa the sound will take your breath away. Especially the earlier 12 valve units in the 75, 164 and 155. The 24 valve sounds good, but doesn't have quite a seamless wail.
