The Alfa is awesome. Just a shame about the price.

Could be that it takes a very good driver to fully extract the performance out of the gtam. And testing cars like these on different tires is meaningless. I’ll take my modified F8x over both anyway.

The Alfa is awesome, looks better than the G80, looked more composed on track. But I'd still take the G80 any day of the week!

Nearly pointless comparison.
GTAm is track focused limited edition that's BMW CSL category, and that M3c isn't the fastest M3 available either, the AWD M3c is. Also testing a small track like this one ain't tell anything in terms of performance for these midsize sedans.

I take these videos with a grain of salt. I dont know what settings the Giulia needs to be in to run a fast lap. And he said hes in MDM mode with the M3. Is he in sport, sport plus, comfort, is the transmission cheeseburger all the way on 3, where it keeps the car in the gear while youre in the corners? Are the shocks in sport, or sport plus? Are the brakes in sport? Too many variables for me. And the car would definitely be quicker with all of the settings turned up. Im saying quicker, in general, not quicker than he was able to achieve, himself.

It's a show for entertainment that gives a sense of cars from a normal car enthusiast in real world conditions. His lap times are pretty representative of an average forum member jumping in these cars and doing a few laps. The reality is there are many YouTube channels that appeal to different audiences. You should watch based on what you're looking for. Pro Lap Times Comparisons: SportAuto, Randy Pobst, C&D Lightning Laps Deep Technical Info: SavageGeese Entertainment from Car Enthusiasts: CarWow, Throttle House, Joe Achilles In regards to the video, a great showing for the M3. As noted, Gulia is more special and almost universally considered a much more fun and emotional car to drive. But the M3 crushes it in build quality, tech, reliability, price, and performance #s (for a non-GTAm version) |

Hard to say definitively as there's no good data, but its reliability has definitely improved over it's horrific launch that left an insane amount of journalists and early adopters stranded.
I doubt it's great but there are quite a few anecdotal stories like Gfit's good experience. |

That's good to hear , my other concern would be lack of dealers and I've heard horror stories about how long it takes to repair certain issues because of the limited dealers and parts.

Theyre really not. A family car with a bit of poke is hardly a midlife crisis car. Nor is a track focus'd 2 seat Alfa costing over twice as much. A brightly coloured 2 seater coupe perhaps but not these 2. IMO of course! |

The link is up-to-date, but the test model is not. You can find the same problem on other links. |

On a side note, I noticed you have an M2. That's a car I really love. I'm debating between the next-gen M2 or Giulia QV as my next car in a couple years. May consider the Boxster as well.

I guess being in my young 30s and wanting a fun car that can accommodate a car seat for a baby is mid life crisis. 🤷🏼
