There are a number of these competing locally in our vintage events, and they seem to give the 2.0 liter 911's a pretty fair fight. They do seem to break more, however. How is reliability, drivability, etc?

To be honest, I don't know much about Alfa's either (but I'm learning). This one is a 1966 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce modded to look a bit like a GTA racecar. It has a semi race suspension, up-rated 2.0L engine (from 1.6 stock) and a few other goodies.

I'm sure being Italian, they are finicky... but like 356s, if they aren't rusty, the mechanical are simple, and probably pretty reliable if properly sorted. Not sure about the driving experience yet, but I'll report when it arrives. Folks say they are a hoot. Well balanced, torquey, handle well.
