My Alfa 164L sitting behind a new 8C.
This 8C ended up being sold to a guy in Auburn Hills, Mi.

I Love the fact that the 164 looks right at home behind the 8C and doesnt look dated!

So far I've come across 6 or 7 of these 8C's. This was the most recent one that I got to check out today.
From what I keep reading and hearing, all of the 8C's were supposed to have been sold before they even got here along with the convertible models.
Here's some more pictures of the 8C. I wish it was mine!!
Unfortunately the one picture that had all the options and price didn't come out all that clear but the sticker price was $285,000.00

I didn't see this coming :-)
Those products aren't available here.
I have a new pic from a trip I took with a friend to the 'dead sea' today.
This pic shows the difference in ride height between the front and the rear better than the others I posted...
Can anyone tell if this is normal?
btw... the car was fitted with yellow Koni's by one of the previous owners. Can it be an improper installation issue?
It really bugs me.
Thanks and Happy New Year to the you Jewish Alfisti's out there.
Ralph.

Ralph-
It may be the way the photo was taken, but it looks as though the rear tires are smaller than the front...
Regards.

It does look like that although it ain't so.
It's just that because of the significantly higher ride in the rear, the wheel doesn't fill the wheel-well as snuggly as the front.
All tires on the car are 205-55R16"
Ralph.

Stock...They always looked like that here in the States as well... the Milanos too. Probably due to DOT Bumper Height requirements.?.?
THe first thing I did with my Verde whan I had it was to get some new shorter and stiffer springs to get me closer to the road and out of the clouds!
