Have you considered a Alfa GTV V6, much nicer and classier in my opinion and it has one of the best engines or any car ever.
Good man! Far better than the Fiat!
I dont deny you know your stuff Rob and I too love Alfas, got a 2.0 Spider at home, but no matter how good the V6 sounds with the Autodelta pipes I think your claim that it sounds better than any road going Ferrari is a little ambitious.Quote: Originally posted by RobFenn on 26 March 2003
If i could i would grab you by the shoulders and shake you " THE ALFA IS BETTER!"
The engine is superb, very reliable, sounds gorgeous!! Autodelta can even do a turbo, bore it to 3.2 V6 and give you four exhaust pipes and i guarantee it sounds better than any road ferrari with them on. Also theyre still making them so you have a wide choice to suit your price. Theyre also bringing out a facelift with 240bhp, a detuned GTA version basically.
Pinninfarina only styled the interior of the car. The exterior was actually designed by an American geezer. Unlike the 406 Coupe which was a Pinifarina design externally ( hence the Pinninfarina badge on the exterior of the 406 a la certain Ferraris). The 406 Coupe is also produced in Pinninfarinas factory in Italy.Quote: Originally posted by jamiepm on 27 March 2003
Surely everyone knows that Fiat/Alfa/Lancia are all one company, so any qwerks with 1 car are passed through the range of cars!Until they update models etc.Yes some of the Alfas do look nice but the Fiat Coupe was styled by Pininfarina (the ferrari bloke!) and any day of the week the Fiat will blitz any Alfa
