LOL Chris, the car asked for nothing. It was the tire shops who didn't want to sell me a lesser tire, several flat out refused. It came to me with 2 good U tires, which I couldn't match. Not a good plan to add tires 2 categories apart. Not for speed, for handling. Which is why I bought this little rocket (at my wife's insistence). AWD, with a system that provides proper power to each wheel according to the driving condition at that moment.
The full set of V tires was less than $400.
You're right, I don't have any idea if it will actually hit 146 mph that's claimed (with a fresh engine). Looking forward to a road trip through New Mexico to see if that 2-lane desolate 40 mile stretch I remember is still used to test top speed. That's where I discovered that my '69 Alfa Romeo was uncomfortably loud much over 100 mph. Wind noise, engine was nowhere near red line.
My Audi is a lot like that Alfa coupe, but with 30 years' newer technology, and creature comforts. The guy who bought my Alfa was thrilled to get the rust bucket project, and paid 1/3 of my Audi cost. Both a hoot to drive on winding roads. Both beautiful cars.
