It's me. A California racetrack. An Alfa Romeo 4C AND a Dodge Viper. This is the stuff of dreams, folks. But what do you want to know about these awesome cars? I'll also have access to FCA engineers too so I can ask them technical stuff as well.

Do you really can't open the bonnet on the 4C?

Seriously, the problem with the 4C was, i cannot do a grocery shopping with it, assuming i have one.

I would steal the Viper and give it to you if it meant I could have a New Yorker

Why can't they send us more 4Cs, and why no manual? I know it's slower, but it's just better.

...but as you well know, mid engine'd 4 cylinders are supposed to have two trunks!

Awesome cars, indeed. Which track are you at?

I am curious about one thing: why does the 4C's DCT seem to get poor marks in every review I've read? Is it just because it's not well paired with the powerband, or is the shift logic counterintuitive? Of course I haven't had the privilege of driving one myself, and I'm not anti-DCT at all, but I'm genuinely curious because the car is billed as brilliant in all other measures.

I don't even know what track yet! I just said yes haha

I'll check it out. I don't know how much city driving I'll have with it.

1) how do I get that job? I have a racing resume I can send ;)
2) are they planning a hyper version of the 4c? While its a cool car, I see it being the starter of a range of cars.
3) How are sales on the viper with the price change?

Working on it as we speak.

But what if mrs aya wants to come inside the 4C and she decide to buy those fancy dress again?

It would appear the interior materials are different in the American and European 4C. Do the interior materials feel cheap and flimsy like Richard Hammond described in the Euro version?

I can answer those myself.

1) Because they aren't going to sell many of the ones they do bring over.

2) Because they wouldn't sell any.

Lucky. I see both of those cars around work every once and awhile. Love both of them.
