Re: [alfa] Stradale and Victory by Design

[Joe Garcia <lacorsanostra@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think "Stradale" just means (not LITERALLY)
"Street-version." Literally it means "streetable" so
the GTZ Stradale (like the Ferrari 360 Challenge
Stradale), probably had a few minor nods towards
streetability, such as a muffler, etc.
