in theory, the difference will come at tracks where you were having
problems with boiling fluid. for me, that would be watkins glen.
summit point might have the same issues; i never raced the alfetta
there.

in an alfetta, i'd worry about fronts. i never had fluid boil problems
with fresh fluid in a milano (except for once at mid-ohio), the
milano having the same rears as the alfetta but much bigger, better
cooled fronts.
