Love it. Ride it hard cugine. Where did you get the new intakes?
Spring mods = Porsche GT3RS killer!
And so it begins...
Custom fender flares, 305s in front on 10.5” wheels, 325s in rear on 11.5” wheels, camber kit giving -2.5 camber and new ECUtune, high flow cats, 3” exhaust, carbon intakes giving 650hp. And still very streetable.
BC Forged will have my custom wheels made in about five weeks. Will have all the rest of the other work done by then. Should be a fun spring for me but I imagine a lot of expensive two door sports cars owners are going to be pretty shocked at the track!

Hi, lol, sorry, just a fan
I've seen Eric's post and his qv is impressive, but I'm curious, what made you choose remus, and also a 300cel vs 200cel.
By March 16th my new BC Forged custom wheels should arrive 10.5x19 and 11.5x19 to be mated to 305 and 325 width tires, can’t wait!!
Regarding my fender flare project it’s been changed a bit.
After we painted the mock ups black and took it out into the sun to take a look at it.
First impression when we put those big wide tires in there it’s gonna look great!
But we also decided that the fender flares are just too wide to do only the flares.
Instead we decided to do a mild widebody ground effect kit instead. Basically were just going to bring the front flares out into like dive planes so I’ll get more downforce and tie the front flares into the back flares utilizing the existing side body and then fill out the back ones too. Like the photos I am showing here. And of course the finished flares will be much smoother and less angular than these mockups. The one photo outside with the flares painted black kind of shoes how awesome it’s going to be once fenders are filled in with wide tires.
Should look really smooth. We are trying to hard to keep this car extremely beautiful and also be functional at the race track with the materiality wider tires.
Big shout out to those who has been helpful and in understanding that this is a process and a compromise.

I’m working with some other people in other forums that are quite helpful. In fact the lineup photos were done by someone there.
It’s funny one of them sent me this Montreal photo I believe that’s what you’re talking about. The other photos were all sent to me by other helpful kind people Who understand this.
But it’s funny these many people are sending me lots of widebody pictures and pushing me to go full Liberty Walk type huge body kit. And then like you say other people are upset I am at modding my car because and they don’t understand how I’m not doing it for looks or they are there just common haters of anybody who does something different than they would or could afford to do.
If this mod turns out right it could be something beautiful too. Certainly will be unique because nobody’s offering a widebody kit. And the only Giulias I have seen with wide bodies are either just computer renderings or full on racecars. I’m just doing a moderate widebody and ground effects mod.
I’m sharing this on this forum because I know there’s some people who appreciate and enjoy looking at the process and who understand it. And also for the people who understand the tracking ability of this amazing car
That weight figure must’ve been from years ago when the car first came out and Alfa didn’t even release wet weight figures.
Now there’s several sources that say it weighs a little less than 3800 depending on the brake choice.
I haven’t done any weight reduction actually when I went to the Girodisc steel rotors I gained about 45 pounds.
I don’t think there’s a lot of weight reduction you could get out of this car. Talking to my Alfa technician the rear seats don’t even weigh that much. Although I have thought about replacing that large lead acid battery with a lithium one. You probably could save 50 pounds right there!!!
Although personally I’m fit my car choices seem to get heavier and heavier!
In 2016 I bought a 4C [email protected], in 2017 a Giulia [email protected] and just last week a 2020 Stelvio [email protected]
But what the hell all of these Alfa models are a lighter weight than their competitors.
Kind of cool to own all 3 of the recent top Alfa models although the 4C needs body transplant LOL.
My dealership and also Alfa USA take really good care of me and the cars have been reliable and especially since I track them hard.
FYI I put lowering springs in the Stelvio and dropped it 2 1/2 inches. Plus I have my Giulia QV OEM Tecino wheels that I’m going to use as track set up wheels for the Stelvio. Tge Tecinco wheels and the tires I put on will drop it another 1.4 inches plus a lot less wheel/tire weight. That’s pretty exciting drop in COG and of unsprung weight.
Dropping the car really transformed it into a hot hatchback.
Can’t wait to track this Stelvio soon in about a month when the tracks open. I think it’s going to be stupid fast.
But the Giulia QV will always be 500 pounds lighter so it should be faster and with my new mods i’m hoping it will be a real screamer, something hard to touch with most any car.
Here’s a couple photos of the dropped Stelvio QV
