Yeah that little inline 4 hits around 20PSI with plenty of room for more boost. Ive been told the car can make over 300HP wheel safely with just a tune and even without it the cars faster than my V10 M5 due to the power to weight. Where the 8C had a steel chassis and CF body, the 4C has a CF tub, front and rears are aluminum, and the body is SMC. The entire car is lotus light with much better styling.
I've been reading about the car every day and I'm not sure when I'll pull the trigger. I've been in contact with two dealers but I refuse to pay anything over than MSRP. Hopefully I find one soon, my fear is that they may halt production early like they did on the 8C. The 8C had over 1400 orders in but they stopped at 500. All of these cars are hand made in Modina, unlike the production alfa counterparts like the Gulieta & mito.
I did also confirm that there is at least a markup on the LE of at least 3k. I was worried for a bit that they were selling them too close to wholesale and that they were in the red. Hopefully that means they can keep producing more and more of them after they get another assembly line going in parallel.
