If the Alfa you are talking about is a red 4WD with big front bumpers, then I think it is a blast to drive. It does the best 4 wheel drifts in the game. And I'm not a drifter.
I have the regular F1, the Stealth and the Race Car. It's interesting how the 3 are different but have the same tendencies. That is, great brakes and some inclination to bring the rear out under acceleration on turns. I don't consider it a strong loose rear but a mild one that doesn't happen during braking. Enough to keep you on your toes. About 2.3 rear camber and .1 rear toe in is enough to keep it reasonable. I like all 3 F1's and the Stealth is one of my 2 grinders. The RC does 236 mph at Sarthe with no draft.
