Nice! As I get older I realize my initial reaction to a car it always based on how sexy it looks.

OK - Assuming this is an early model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_33_Stradale, I'm seeing the base numbers as 230hp/150tq and 1543 lbs. Nice again!

Since this car isn't in the handy-dandy classification spreadsheet ('Showroom Assessments' tab) yet I made up a line by cloning the Ariel Atom, plugged in the 33's power and weight numbers, and got a Showroom Assessment of 96.1. This puts you at the top of Touring at T100. Were this a real example we could get specific on tires and actual competition weight and likely get some points back for both, bringing you closer to T90 (a total of 89.99 or less) assuming the car was bone stoke.

Just for fun I also went to Super Class' tab and plugged in the numbers there. I added 200 lbs for driver and fuel. Based on the 13x8 and 13x9 inch wheels I put the nominal tire width at 245, but I'm not sure who's making anything like that. I get a corrected power to weight rating of 7.37, putting it into Super A.

So what color is yours?
