I've driven both (on the track), and they are, ....well.......different. Both good! I recently drove Mike Getzhoff's '73 (stock) Carrera at Willow Springs, and it was great fun. It was very responsive, and it went right where I pointed it. I have raced dozens of different Alfas, and my race car is a '74 GTV. I love Alfas, but I do enjoy the power that a Porsche provides. Alfas are certainly more comfortable to drive at speed. I really don't think you can compare them that easily.

I have also raced a rather over-done rat-trap of a 930 with a huge turbo, which WAS a different animal.

Bruce Colby is right, you should come out to one of our events and see the different Alfas, and go for a few rides. Someone (maybe even me) might swap cars w/ you for a session. Where do you live?

Alfas, to me, are feminine while Porsches seem more masculine. At least as far as driving impression. Even the pedal-feel, power and driveability. There is a place for both, and both can be very fast, if well set-up.
