Congratulations Jim, a real super car. Have a closer look here. YouTube - ALFA 8c competizione fantastic video !!!.
LOVE that 8C! What a car. Good to see Alfas coming back to the USA. Now if only I could find a way to make a replica of the 33 stradale race car......
Bill, yes, the road version of the 33 stradale is stunningly beautiful, but if I could pick I think I would go for the race version here: YouTube - ALFAROMEO Tipo33 Shakedown at TSUKUBA
She's not the fastest vintage racer out there - I believe the engine is the 2.5l V8 that you see in an early 70's Montreal (detuned) with probably not more than 260 or so hp in race form. An alloy SBF with webers and 180degree headers would sound good and add a lot of grunt. Trouble is, where do you go to make body panels? Not many guys with these cars are cool with you putting vaseline and wet fibreglass all over them.....
