thanks for your answer. but maybe you did not read fully my thread. I did the launching of the car (in Belgium where speed limits were no too enforced - and we were in a castle in the countryside) and we all had to show the dealers what the car could do on the road. so it was miles and miles of fast and furious road tests. When over we all quickly came back to our Milanos (called 75 USA in Europe).
And maybe you are aware of the Alfa Romeo "deal" to make a big show with the 164's at the begining of each Formula 1 Grand Prix in Europe. Well, that did not last very long (thar cars were driven by factory pilots amongts others) and after a few "shows" they were all removed from the Formula 1 Grand Prix tracks as no one was impressed and too many (front wheel drive) Alfas crashed in front of the public. And beside the engine they are not much better than the Peugeot.
Nevertheless I am still curious to have more opinions about this. US opinions that is.
Obviously with strick speed limits and mainly straight and wide roads it is not easy to really push the car to its (very quickly reached) limits.
