I am in love with the new Alpha Romeo sedan.... its stunning, powerful, Ferrari California chopped off engine lol, luxurious, drives like a dream. (lucky enough to test drive one at a special media event.)
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio:
Ferrari has clearly stated apparently that they do not have anything to do with this engine, it was Alfa all on their own... I love the looks of the Quadrifoglio inside and out and that amazing interior but they screwed up big time first offering it in 6MT and then saying it won't come with row-your-own gearbox to US ... at that point I lost my interest in it. Sweet car otherwise

Yep, Ferrari did make that statement, but evry engineer that has looked at the engine has said that its the California engine with two cylinders cut off lol. Of course thats not 'proof', but the car even sounds like a toned down Cali.

Fine with me lol car does sound gorgeous and is amazing but the lack of 6MT after they advertised it just kills it for me as well as the price bracket it'll be in
One thing thats sad, they pulled the manual transmission at the last moment. It only comes with automatic. Something about the clutch pedal cutting off dummy feet during crash testing. It was cheaper to get rid of the manual than rework the frame and still get the car out on schedule.
That's dumb, if one can afford a Quadrifoglio they should be able to afford a new foot!

Presumably if you lose the foot the car is totaled. You could then just buy an automatic with the insurance money; in which case you don't need that foot anyway.

lol, the Grand Tour guys did call it the quadroplegio lol
Anyone whose running this ground kit (or something similar) believe what it claims it does? If you have a 7AT like me, I'll do anything to get faster, more reactive shifts.

I made my own, when playing audio through USB it seems a tiny bit more crisp, could be placebo. I noticed when playing audio via bluetooth, with the throttle bodies grounded, there is no more sound skipping that sometimes happened during hard acceleration. The thing that stillen doesn't give you in their kit is a wire for your throttle bodies. I can definitely say that throttle response 'feels' a bit better with those wires. As far as shifting goes, the TCM software update did more than the grounding kit, and it was very minor. Its hard to say if it helps at all. Looks nice though lol. I removed my kit, and only kept the throttle body cables, only grounding cables that felt like they made a difference, ironically, the only grounding cables not included in stillens kit.

Thanks guys, just got freaked out because my car battery died on me today due to it leaking and the electrical system was doing weird things to me. Got a Optima Deep Cell and Cold Crank capable battery that cost me an arm and a leg from Advanced Auto.
