I think the beauty of the GTAs is that their styling is quite subtle, so unless you know your Alfas, I'm assuming people just dont realise they're up against a real wolf in sheep's clothing. But isn't that when a car is really fun - as everyone's already said - the best fun is when you get some chancer who just doesn't realise what they're up against
Having said that, I've had a couple of boy racers line up against me at traffic lights. But I used to get it much more in the Celica....and that was fun
The best time was a guy in a BMW who obviously thought he was going to show me how to drive properly (I could just hear him tutting to himself at the thought of a woman in a red sports car
). Well, I just about kept up with him till 70, then, still in 3rd, the 190bhp kicked in at 7,000 revs and I just cruised past him, grinning like a cheshire cat as I did. That extra little kick put me far enough ahead that he couldn't quite catch up again - until I got fed up and slowed down. What a satisfying drive that was
