What is up with the tuning then? ZF8 in my Hellcat is fantastic

Alfa's tuning of the ZF8 is not up to par with BMW or FCA. It's not quick enough or visceral enough downshifting unless you're in Race mode and fully fully fully up to transmission temp. Even then its just alright.

I've driven a 2019 392 Charger. The ZF8 absolutely RIPS with the 392 and its glorious, I can only imagine how good it is with 707 horsepower in the Hellcat.

Um, Alfa is part of FCA, but perhaps the Chrysler side has a little more familiarity with it than the Fiat side.

I meant to type the rest of FCA, my appologies!

It seems like a comically unorganized company. It's quite possible that Alfa never talks to Chrysler.

Doesn't mean you can't strip the car way down and make it super light.....

Seems lazy to apply the GTA moniker to the car but leave it fat and lard assed...

The original GTA took huge weight out of an already light car.

Would never pass all the safety stuff required today

Not a huge fan of the rear fender flares, or the active elements up front, but overall it's not to bad. Let's just hope it doesn't have any reliability issues.
