Someone should show up with a Callaway twin Turbo, or a 164 Q/S or a Milano
Verde, c'mon is the sentiment being implied that our "lowly" Alfas are too slow
for a high speed track like Pocono. Thats BS, as many of the above cars are very
near in performance to many early 80's Ferraris (I'm not making it up, check
contemporary road test reports) An early 90's 164S/Q can keep up with a Mondial
for sure, compare 1/4 mile times with 348's or 328' s or gasp 308's. 
I won't even get into Masers, other than to say my Verde used to routinely spank
a  local Biturbo driver, and I'm not talking driver skill here, just pedal to
the metal stuff. 
Make no mistake I love Ferraris and Masers as much as any Italian car nut, but
to imply that Alfas are unsuitable for high speed courses is (Bleep).
