You can't change the laws of physics, Captain!
Still, the above statement is only valid when preceded by "With all things 
being equal ..."   Which, of course, they never are.  

The wonder of it all is that you can have lots of fun either way!
Build a Civic that runs the quarter in the 10's.  Blast a Milano around a 
road course.   Hang a heavy flat 6 out BEHIND the rear axle and make the car 
still handle. Whatever floats your boat.

Alfa content:  Has anyone logged significant track laps with a 164?  How do 
the brakes hold up?  That would be my biggest concern.
