I'm not an expert, but I think other manufacturers such as Mercedes do a similar thing. Difference is Dodge engines switch on/off same 4 cylinders all the time, German cars actually switch between all 8.
You can feel the HEMI jerk slightly when it switches - something Dodge here have acknowledged is a problem.

That is Multi Displacement System - and it is sh1te on the Dodge HEMI engine (mechanic in the garage admitted this to me, said they get loads of complaints).

purely because of its engineering.
As Clarkson said "its the concorde of cars" the pinacle of automotive engineering, costs more to make than they sell it for

The problem is that anyone driving a ferrari (unless you're magnum p.i) looks like an idiot. For the money I would not be seen driving a modern Ferrari. Any classic is fine - 250 GTO, F40, 250 California....al cool as f***.
360, 430, 550, 599...in my eyes are nobhead material. Guess it depends on your personality though...i'm more of a 911 man.

Most 'modern' Ferrari's are pretty subtle in their styling. Unlike the 911 turbos...

Now the Muira I go with, but not the others, have to be 69 Camaro SS, Audi Quattro Sport SWB, Stratos, Caterham 7 purely for the simplicity, and one of my all time favourites.....purely for absolute balance....

One thing you always need to remember about an Alfa, it may be ebautiful, but it will break, it will depreciate faster than the Zimbabwean economy and it will let you down frequently. But it is stunningly beautiful.
