double-6s do you find your 156 GTA quite planted on the road when
cornering etc, also the boot must be a fair size.
Very planted mate. Overall grip is fookin excellent. I notice you had a rado VR6? Me too. Two actually. One was totally standard and one was very modified, including very very expensive H&R coilover suspension. The GTA still has way more grip and plantedness than the VRs. Largely down the the much greater stiffness I reckon. The GTA feels flat and planted in the corners, whereas you could feel the chassis flexing in the VRs. Saying that, my modded rado was an absolute demon through high speed bends
The boot is massive - plenty big enough for all my crap and two kids and all their stuff, and the Mrs and her 8 suit cases, 6 make-up bags, etc.
And it's WAAAAAY quicker than most things out there!
Get yourself down to the Alfa garage mate
