I would gladly take my hat off for the 131.
But would kneel down kiss the rubber and do cartwheels for these.

It broke my heart when I sold my baby. Sill does.

Yes, but would they be able to handle this monster?

Whitespirit66 im not even going to argue with you
I use to be able to drive fast (many moons ago).
Drove and built numerus rally prepared monsters.
The only car that frightened the sh*t out of me was my wifes 1800 marina.
Never driven a car that could under steer, over steer and drift at the same time and at a break neck speed of 30mph.
Even had to take sea sickness pills when out in it

I had a Lancia Beta Coupe which I loved to pieces and makes all my cars since seem somehow sterile. I totally regret crashing it.
It was great , twin choke webbers gave an all or nothing power delivery , popping on the oeverun , the smell of petrol , brilliant chassis.

I raced karts for ten years and made the final four shoutout in a quest to win the Dunlop Academy race drive in 2008..

You forgot to mention the brakes. Hope they upgraded them slightly for the V8 conversion.

If you ever get on track with a car its surprising how only 10 minutes driving will see your brakes virtually dissapear as the fluid heats up and forms bubbles, Suddenly you are pressing as hard as you can and there's no braking...You don't actually realise how bad they are ironically until you drop back to walking pace and suddenly realise you have got your full brakes on but you are still rolling forward..

Tell me more about the heating and bubbles, one of us is 10 yrs behind.

Lancias were like that.
Unless you upgraded the braking systems.

nowadays there isn't really such a thing as a bad handling car..
They might not be sporting and they may have a safe dose of understeer dialled in but they handle fine.
In the old days cars used to go from power understeer to lift off oversteer in the blink of an eye.
The only car that did that to me recently was when I drove an Ariel ATOM Supercharged on track...
Being so light the back end went incredibly light under braking and so as you turned in with hard braking you initially had understeer and while the front end was fighting between braking and steering then suddenly oversteer as you started to turn and the back didn't have enough grip to follow. The laws of physics have never chaged so you had to adapt to the 'old school' slow in fast out technique..
I had a caddy van old style with leaf spring rear suspension and that handled as good as any car I had ever previously had just a lot slower.
My old Lancia was a great handling car and the only front wheel drive car I have had that would four wheel drift.
