How hard do you drive your 2.0T Giulia?

I don't drive as often as I would like so when I do I try and push it; key word is try as often my wife is in the car with me 😒 or there's NYC traffic 😒😒

But somehow, necessary to tell me to buy a Prius. Not sure where you are from, but where I live, triple digit speeds are considered reckless with automatic jail time, car impounded, and possibly (likely) loss of drivers license.
But hey, to each their own. if you can afford such complications, be my guest. I'll spend my money at the Walmart parking lot, AKA the track... triple digit speeds all day long :круто:

glad to meet you) I moved to US from Russia 3 years ago. It measures speed in three-digit numbers (km/h). At the moment I am waiting for my Quadrifoglio in a couple of weeks (sailing from Italy at the moment). It is a pity that in the US there are no highways without speed limits like in Germany:крики:

Here in the State of Florida it’s hard enough to drive”normal” I can’t imagine trying to drive “hard”……it’s bad.

Some of you need to tune your 2.0 Giulias….really wakes the car up

that Along with a go-pedal….amazing…simply put.

One day ill reach for a hybrid turbo and make a smooth 370hp

until then ill enjoy 0-60 in 4.2 seconds…..which is right on par with a Carrera 4S cabriolet and ferrari F430 F1

Agreed! After I plugged in my Madness Max Pro, it was so much better. Should of came stock like that. With the addition of a BMC air filter and GoPedal, only adds to the fun. Also tempted by the Hybrid turbo!

What mods are you running to get 4.2s? That's super impressive man!

Im think a lot about this... but...need lost to someone first... otherwise... why spend money with upgrades?

according to the built-in g-meter i hit 1.13 (max reading from squadra logger). Is it accurate i wonder?

As the title states, I’d like to get a general idea of how you guys are driving your cars? I drive my car daily and it sees full load/boost and redline multiple times daily. I always wait until it’s warmed up on the temp gauge. But I use dynamic mode and paddles often and run the car through its paces often.

Made the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs.

I never...basically take her out of dynamic. And I kero my throttle controller on at 2nd setting while driving. I have an intake. Jb4...with a custom tune setting boost safety at 25. I like to hear the blowout valve and exhaust. So to put it bluntly. .I drive it every day, and I'm not nice to her. I do regular maintenance and let her warmup and cool down. Besides that I'm just basically seeing what she'll do over time. I'm almost at 50k

Quick question to all you guys. In normal mode (or dynamic) and in manual (paddle) mode if you do wot or heavy throttle from 1-2 is the shift really firm for you guys?

Yes in Dynamic it shifts fast and hard.

Drive a little more aggressive then normal. Always in D, use paddle shifters on curvy roads. Unless I get some one in another vehicle that likes to drive, then I have a little more fun having them keep up. I try to get the most out of my tires. These things love turns for sure!

Have you tried the 1-2 manual shift at wot in normal? Trying to gauge what may or may not be normal in these. At 5k rpm the 1-2 shift in normal with paddles is firm for sure

When the car is cold, I find the shifts lag and are much harder. Once heated, they are fast and smooth

Just tried in N mode and the shifts are not as harsh but still pretty fast and bit harsh.
