My first ride in an Alfa 4C. This one had an intake, exhaust and tune so it was pushing savage HP/tq (the owner said 80+ WHP gain, mostly from the tune).

The intake and blow-off noise is insane. Feels like it’s happening right behind my right ear! Awesome car and a decent meet for a 37F evening.

My car looks so orange next to Rosso Alfa.

Dat beautiful CF tub

I hope Alfa offers a CPO program in the future. It doesn’t seem like they do at the moment unless I missed it on their site. I would really like one of these in ~3 years. Do you have any insight into the car from the ride?

Their CPO program is the roughly $15k in discounts you can get on a brand new 4C right now. They’re taking care of the depreciation for you!

Ha! This is the correct answer. Used ones on Autotrader are falling below $50k as well.

I’m very curious how big of a hit they will take once their warranty expires. I can’t see many owners holding on to them much longer than that. Italian engineering backed by Chrysler reliability.

Can’t be worse than our cars!

That’s what I’m afraid of!
