Dream Cruisin': I love the smell of burning gas - The Detroit News

A Ferrari 458, multiple Corvettes, and, bright green, 1970 Dodge Challenger cruise south past my eager 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Detroit News official cruise car. At Maple and Woodward, I pull alongside a gorgeous, red, 2015 Porsche Turbo GT3 – the fastest Porsche made outside the otherworldly 918 hybrid - trying to tempt him into a stoplight drag. He's a good citizen and resists (good advice on a day when police will be thick as flies). We cruise side-by-side for a mile. At the 14 Mile and Woodard stoplight, a black, 2011 Mustang shows no such self-control when he sees my sneak up in his rear view mirror. He stomps on his big V-8 and burns rubber out of the stoplight with my little Alfa – which weighs two-thirds his 3,500-pound beast – in pursuit. I arrive at the epicenter of the Cruise – 13 Mile and Woodward – and there is no parking to be had. Take a rest, little Alfa, we'll cruise more later. Watch for me and my cruising brother, Tom Greenwood, in his convertible Mustang on Woodward all day. Source: www.detroitnews.com
