Yes I had the optional Q2 installed and yes it is rare in Australia. I also have a 3.2 GT with Q2. If you haven't driven one with Q2 you would be considerably surpirsed at the total difference in handling. Q2 all but elimninates torque steer as well as a considerable reduction in understeer. In the case of my GT it has removed ithis undesirable characteristic. I had a Subaru RS Liberty 4WD and favourably compare the handling to the Alfas. Rare as these two cars are they have no monetry value as depreciation in Australia makes more than your nose bleed. This was the last Spider to arrive and be sold in Australia and the dealers seem to think it may have been the last RHD 916 which is what I am trying to find out.

The data plate on the 916 is located under the bonnet on the left hand wheel arch. The Spider is a Lusso with electric roof, reversing sensors and Q2 transmission in stock condition so I don't know for sure but I suspect it has.

I have a 3.2V6 Q2 916 Spider. I bought it new in June 2005 and believe it may be the last RHD V6 spider produced before the Brera. I am trying to confirm this and attach the VIN plate number. As you can see it was manufactured in May 2005, so allowing a month for shipping and customs it could be said it was fresh out of the factory. Certainly it was the last V6 sold new in Australia.
