unless you live in southern California........>I would hope that in the US we have a greater appreciation/respect for what lotsa horsepower can do, because everybody has at least some experience with big v8's, usually with primitive tires and suspension, and if you haven't been at least scared, you probably know someone who has been, or worse.
Well at least we have the option of keeping the drivers’s aids enabled. You don’t even need to go back as far as the 930. The Carrera GT is more than a handful for even experienced drivers and no nannies even if you want them. I do wonder about the conditions some of these cars were in. If it’s below 50-55° out you gotta keep the car in A mode because the Corsa’s are borderline useless...looks like my 930 turbo may have competition for "widow maker" laurels![]()
I agree, since I installed the Forza system I rarely put it in R mode, unless I want to do a burnout/smoke out..... don't ask.....0I think AR could alleviate 75-80% of people’s desire to even put the car into race mode on the street by allowing a setting to open the exhaust mode in at least the D and maybe the N settings. It’s understandable to not have it in the A setting I guess.
I’ve driven quite a few cars now with magnetic suspensions and customizable ride/response and I’ve never felt one that is so pronounced as the QV. If you engage race mode while moving on anything less than perfect pavement you can literally feel the car become lurchy like you have a dog straining against its leash. While it’s fun you definitely need to respect it with all the driver’s aids off but that exhaust note is addictive. They really need to make it a stock option to engage it outside of race mode...
if they(alfa) didn't want you to use Race mode they wouldn't have put it there>I agree, since I installed the Forza system I rarely put it in R mode, unless I want to do a burnout/smoke out..... don't ask.....0
I am saving R mode for the track, kind of useless in suburban areas..... unless, of course you are test driving MDriver's QV.........>>

I guess you still remember that........0if they(alfa) didn't want you to use Race mode they wouldn't have put it there>
of course Race mode is also useful in drowning out the screams of the local constable you almost ran over:grin2:
Yup....he probably does too:grin2:I guess you still remember that........0![]()
Ironically, the only person to ever almost run into me in an intersection in my Alfa, was someone in a Fiat 500 :laugh:In less than 2 month of ownership I narrowly dodged 2 misfortune, once by caution once by luck ...
