Does the Alfa have a slight advantage? Yes. Are SRS drivers close enough in skill/pace for this to make a huge difference? No
If you're fighting for a podium or top 5 then sure, the Alfa might be your best choice (I have seen Mercs and BMW's get podiums/race wins in previous series, beating fast drivers in Alfas).... If you're in the midpack or a backmarker then take whichever ever car feels more comfortable or fun to drive because the Alfa won't suddenly allow you to compete with the front runners no matter which of the cars they're running.
Of course it would be great if the cars were balanced out, I'm just saying that people seem to be overestimating the advantage the Alfa has.
