Comments on: First Pictures of Alfa 8C production car http://www.leftlanenews.com/alfa-romeo-8c-future.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:08:43 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Paqza http://www.leftlanenews.com/alfa-romeo-8c-future.html/comment-page-1#comment-313122 Paqza Thu, 31 May 2007 03:40:57 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/first-pictures-of-alfa-c8-production-car.html#comment-313122 First off, the Alfa is gorgeous. I think it's the most original looking design in a long while. Even the newer Ferraris are looking dated...just look at the 599 - it looks incredibly uninspired. The Alfa seems much more likely to turn heads. Now, anyone bashing pushrods needs to take a more balanced look at the engine technology. Yes, they are bulkier but they are also torquier in their nature. Furthermore, they are not necessarily fuel-hungry. One of my good friends has an 06 Corvette [non-Z06] with the LS2 engine [6.0l] putting out 400 horsepower. On the highway, he averages 26 mpg [EPA rating: 27 mpg]. I drive a 2000 Nissan Altima, with a 155 hp 2.5l engine. First off, my car has notably lower specific output [horsepower per liter] and my car's engine is DOHC [the most common alternative to pushrods]. My car gets 27 miles per gallon on the highway [EPA rating: 28]. The Corvette has a curb weight of ~3100lbs to my Altima's ~2900lbs. Yes, they are different types of cars. However, your argument, Eurolion and others, is that it is a dead technology. Comparing the numbers of the Corvette's engine to a more "modern" technology, such as that used in a fairly recent-model Japanese compact car show that the results actually favor the Corvette. The Corvette gets about the same mileage as my car and it produces ~250 more horsepower. If I were to compare the numbers to the Z06, which comes with the LS7, I think the numbers would be even more in favor of the Corvette. However, I have no real-world numbers on that. Before you get on your pedestal and start ripping on different types of engineering, please actually research before you make it apparent how ignorant you are. By saying that the Corvette "burns as much fuel as a small truck" when a real-world Corvette driver can get 26 mpg and the EPA can rate it at 27 mpg. Show me a small truck with that kind of mileage while putting out 400 hp and I frankly will be very impressed. Long story short: Don't pretend to know what you are talking about when you don't have an iota of truth in your statement. Thank you. First off, the Alfa is gorgeous.

I think that for SUVS and pick-ups diesel engines should be mandatory worldwide to reduce fuel consumptions and hus CO2 emissions. As for the rest, I know that boht the High feature and the Northsatar are DOHC engines, and I jsut don't see why GM doesn't use them in all cars instead, before coming back to the USA, Alfa will discard its variants of the HF V6 and replace them with a new indigenous one, since this engine was badly considered among Alfisti.
