Only one issue.... You weren't actually operating the 4C in the official "Launch Mode". We have nicknamed what you did as the "half launch" as it is limited to 3500 rpm. To get to full launch mode, you need to be in R (Race) mode, plant the brake and throttle, when the tach locks in at 3,500 flick the left "-" shift paddle once and it will go to 6000rpm. Immediately release the brake but do not lift on the throttle. That's the launch which will auto shift. If you lift even a tad, it won't auto shift. Now having said this, I haven't actually ever done it (no safe location like a runway). You might get a fair bit of wheel spin, so the "half launch" might actually be faster with your Tuned car.

And while your at maybe the Giulia Quadrofolio against the Audi RS4! Now that I would even pay to see!!!

Everyone in the comments seem to be absolutely thrilled that the tuned car won. Give the factory stock car a small tune as well and see what happens... The best recorded quarter mile times for both these cars when stock: 12.5 s for the Alfa and 11.7 s for the Audi. It would have been interesting to see the times for these cars.

@@mexistratman1 Mate, what utter rubbish... Firstly, one needs to consider, price, weight and ease of tunability... A 4C already costs more than an RS3, meaning youd expect more performance ... and it weighs 500kg less... so the actual power to weight is really similar... outright power is irrelevant if the denominator moves commensurate to that lol... so the Audi weighs 50% more and has 50-60% more power and its cheaper... So stock vs stock is pretty fair, as the Audi has awd which saps more power to the wheels... Furthermore, re your illusory "tuning a 4C to 700bhp" arguement... Im pretty sure without major hardware changes and rebuild... its as possible as you inhabiting Uranus in the near future... impossible... even then, with say a $30k rebuild, it will probably still blow up at that kind of power... A simple $1k flash tune to the RS3 yields 500bhp+ ... a stage 2 with exhaust, cooler etc is 600bhp... and runs in the 10s (or under) for a quarter mile... it eats R8s for breakfast, let alone hairdresser cars moonlighting as track ready racers. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4Zqz9Z8gbmomM4.html
