<3 Beautiful.

It is very encouraging that also Alfa is coming with "a muscle car" - for me Alfa's are the only cars I feel completely at ease: I have now my 7th Alfa - a top notch 166 - meanwhile I tried GT and Brera - but could not find a dramatical difference in driving both.
Competizione might be a thril - but the price will too, as I may believe.

A few weeks ago, I drove a Ferrari 456 - the steering was terrible. I never had such week (American style) steering experienced in any Ferrari.
Is this particular for the 456?

probably the power steering played havoc. After all the USA is Ferrari's biggest market. It is not something I have heard about specifically in the context of the 456.

Generally a Ferrari - and certainly the higher volume engines - needs about an hour to warm up sufficiently. This was a very good looking low mileage '96 456 but again, the steering was just like that of an American car. It missed precision and I could not sense any resistance in the steering system. Therefore, not warmed up i did not exceed the 100 kmh speed and kept the engine at low revs. Frankly, I didnot dare to go any faster. So unsecure felt the steering.

Well, I did not buy the car and so I go on looking further.
