[QUOTE="AlexC, post: 92408, member: 1462"] Juan Powerblow, You're the first guy I know that's thinking of switching from RWD to FWD. Most people make the opposite trek, one way. That's the problem with cars like the Alfa GT and VW Golf GTi- if they sent all that power to the back wheels, I'd say sales numbers would go up. Handling wise, I'll reserve judgement til after testdriving the GT. But the fact remains that its FWD. And with the 3.2V6 (IMO the only way to fly) that would mean one nose-heavy car, at least on paper. According to [url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/grouptest/1201/car/715/alfa_romeo_gt_coupe.html]Auto Express[/url] the placement of pedals in the GT are too close together- "Even for a heel-and-toe merchant." And the steering isn't weighted enough. That doesn't sound too driver-friendly but the upside is that these complaints can be addressed in later / facelifted models. But hell, the Alfa sure looks good. All she needs to do is go topless. Did you get a test drive yet? [/QUOTE]
