Well considering the M3 has 80bhp less(Strictly going by advertised power) Which we all know isnt true, And most likely for the Giulia too but id say on a lesser scale, And the Giulia is the only car in production, And only 1 of 2 cars fitted with R compound Competition tyres(PZero Corsas)(that im aware)(Other being the E92 M3 CRT Its really not impressive that it beat it by a measly .2s. Also non Competition 450bhp version of the M3, So...

The M3 time was in line with what was expected. Old top gear said it was faster the last M3 by 4 seconds. The Alfa though... with so much more power and supposed superior driving dynamics is rather disappointing. At least I'd imagine it be on par with the base C7 corvette which did a 1:19.8?
