Nice buy, that's the post-facelift model then? Any plans for chipping again with this one? Enjoy your travels

Thank you, it will be under factory guarantee until October 2009, until then I will leave the engine untouched, but upgrades to over 200 BHP are easily possible,

You realize, of course, there are easier ways to change your avatar than buying a new car?

Anyways, congrats and excellent choice btw!

200 kg ?!

damn fatty new cars...so Alfa isn't the only one with such problems...and BMW, MB...and so many others...now I remember why new cars are rarely involving as old used to be.
I can still remember how satisfying was my father's 156 1,9 jtd, even just cruising around, considering it was just a common and average car. even my mom's Clio 1,2 had a better behavior than her Stilo, even considering it had less then half the power, but probably 300/400 kg less too.

How much oil-burnt torque?
Congratulations on a new flying carpet.

Congratulations on your new car.

Even if it's almost the same as the old one.

You know what's next, a C6.

Congratulations Pieter.

Awaiting further news and especially pictures.

Oh and, can we expect another picture of you waving the one finger salute next to your new car like you did with your old one? That was so funny

Congrats!

Go ask Drakkie for some tuning tips. I'm sure he can hook you up with Koni FSDs.
