Yesterday I had my the opportunity to take my first highway jaunt in the Giulia, a brief 50min trip each way. Boy, was that fun!
This thing likes to run...and it feels great doing it. I’m not going to say I was over 100mph often, or even at all, but the car rolls from legal to supra-legal speeds really adroitly. Stability and responsiveness is excellent; the car feels really hooked up and competent at speed.
And boy, for “just” a 4cyl, this is a really nice motor. Good driveability and torque....seems bigger than it is. I haven’t had a 4 turbo in a long time, driving 6 turbos, a big 6, and big 8s in recent years, so maybe I’ve not kept up with the times, but it feels bigger than the 4 turbo in my ‘12 Evo X MR.
Most of you know this stuff, but I just wanted to say that I had one of the best experiences on that mundane highway trip as I’ve ever had on that highway. Lots of fun!
