No sheet, but it should give you some info.

Brunswick Ambitious - RG - 2.601
Brunswick Red Alert Plus - RG - 2.601

Brunswick Ambitious - Perfect Scale - 189.8
Brunswick Red Alert Plus - Perfect Scale - 143.4

One more reason not to trust BowlingBall.com's perfect scale.
Same ball, same core, same PowerKoil 18 cover.
I swear Keith Spear fires a dart blindfolded to get the numbers.

According to the website Joe provided, that zone you bought has PowerKoil Response coverstock.  Do you know that the Response cover is indeed PK18?

I think it is a re-do of an international Red Alert ball from 2002 or so. I do not remember the name, was the one before the solid black/blue PK18 "RA Limited", http://www.brunswickbowling.com/uploads/Wi/31/Wi318zlE5b9rw4xV6Zg3_w/Brunswick-JPG1.jpg. (Same core, BTW).

Same PK18 pearl cover, same Control Zone core and even the same colors (black/red). Just use the normal symmetric core drilling sheets on this one, e. g. from a current Rampage.

I had that ball, and sold it before I had a chance to drill it.
I regret selling it, and glad im able to replace it for so cheap.
The red alert plus was a pretty unique piece, im happy its back again.
Even if the name is the only difference.

Thanks Diz

a few went for that price, i happend to be one of them.  that chat thing is cool.  never done that before.  but for everyone else it was used on a fresh house shot with flyin backends.  synthetic heads than wood.  the line was 17 at the arrows and about 8 at the breakpoint.  strong move on the backend.  as a comparison my red zone drilled 4 1/2" ptp, psa 65 degrees, gets almost same length, but not as strong on the back, would have to move right with this ball on same shot

There's also an Ambitous II out there, at least for the Japanese market. Red/silver pearl, BVP inverted bell core, but no idea what kind of coverstock. From the engravings, I'd guess an N'Control drivate, shoulde a Punisher in disguise? Looks pretty, though
