Autoweek got its hands on an Alfa 8C Competizione, and apparently, It Was Good:
Exploding out of the underpass at 7000 rpm in fourth, with the tiniest dabs on the brake pedal and a tickling caress of the wheel, America's first Alfa Romeo in 13 years sneaks in toward the Armco. Even with no front grip left, it swallows the mashed throttle with a downward lunge onto the outside rear tire, flicks back to the right and then exits the 110-mph flip-flop with a gentle drift.
At $250,000 SRP, I'll certainly never own one, but it definitely sounds like it'll make a very big splash in the market.
