All the guys I talked to were great. Of course, the GT40 owner was a dealer-- he probably assumed I had money, so he had to be nice! The Italia owner and I talked for a good half hour.

Didn't talk to the Z8 guys (there were at least two others there)... but yeah, they sure are beautiful cars. I see those things and think of a modern-day E-Type.

I'd never seen the new Alfa Romeo before. Forget about MSRP... there's no telling how much that thing cost.

But yeah... I was definitely like a kid in the candy shop. Who knew there were nice cars in Dallas?

z8 = ~$130k, not too expensive compared to the 360s, 430s, gallardos and the countach that was parked over there, esp if you adjust for inflation.

oh, you meant the alfa, alfa is ~$150k

turbosix · 06-01-2009, 12:44 PM

one of the z8 guys came back from looking at my friend's TT FGT and asked one of his baller friends "so is that the next on your list of toys?" the dude was like "ugh, F**K a POS ford, i would never buy that trash.

uhhhhhhhhh..... hahaha

I think the Alfa MSRP was closer to ~ $250k. But with only 500 copies total (less than 100 shipped to the US), I doubt you could touch it for that. But then again, I don't even have enough money to ask how much it costs.

looks like the article i read was before msrp was set...i found this searching:

NEW 2008 ALFA ROMEO 8C COMPETIZIONE RED/BLACK MSRP $289,515-$20,000
NEW 2008 ALFA ROMEO 8C COMPETIZIONE RED MET./RED MSRP $294,550-$20,000
NEW 2008 ALFA ROMEO 8C COMPETIZIONE YELLOW/BLACK MSRP $289,515-$20,000

i dunno what the $20k is but its a drop in the bucket for a $300,000 car

And don't forget about the Lotus. Owner was claiming 1400 lbs and 300hp. Think that might be a blast at the track?
