Power is always there as it has a short ratio gearbox as in the twincam twinsparks,
hit 5000rpm change gear and bang 3000rpm full surge to 5000rpm gear change and again in the powerband, the twinnys take off at 3000rpm and another boost at 6000rpm fantastic stuff....cuore sportivo
Have 2 Alfa's owned one for last 4 years and drives like new (10 yrs old) and goes
like stink at 55,000 miles, 2.0ltr twinspark and the noise is addictive, hit the gas at 3000rpm and it howls to 7000rpm fantastic engines, have Gtv and 156 Sportwagon.
No rust , no dodgy electrics (all bosch), i wouldn't drive anything else given the choice..forza Alfa italia
...I think the Gtv is one of best cars ever made!!!This video is an undisputed proof....!!!!The issue on reliability is just a myth!!Every car has its minuses and personaly I don't think newer Alfas share problems of the past!!!...by the way the music volume on the vid should be a lot lower....maybe even 0.....no music is needed with THAT ENGINE :)... ;)
What car doesn't have issues? No vehicle is without a design flaw. I have owned over twenty different cars foreign, import and domestic and maintain them myself. Have had many BMWs and a few Mercedes, but now have a Alfa 164 LS. I couldn't be happier with its 3.0 24v V6. ;)
Just traded my 166 for a GTV..its..different :D not somuch luxery but dámn that sound. Planning to try it on the German autobahn next week. :) :) :) Nice vid Dan!
lol my dad has just bought that exact same car from this vid, we'll get sum vids n pics goin soon...its been chipped to 250bhp since n is lowerd on eibach springs :) its ace!
I have this car. One morning I was overtaking a slow BMW M3 on a narrow road and a police car came round the corner towards us at high speed. My brakes acted so fast that all was safe. You feel so safe in this car. It has yet to be bettered.
İt's a great car,style emotion and pure v6 power,one of the best handling fwd car.İ own one of the Gtv v6 turbo.İt can be tuned to arround 250-280 ps. with ''all car racing' Chip+cai+cat back 76 mm system.Forever alfa!
That was fantastic! Alfa should have written you a cheque for that superlative bit of owner driver recommendation.
I have a '79 Alfetta GTV Coupe and am awaiting delivery of a '69 Duetto Spider and I know exactly how you feel about your car. They are so charismatic.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! good production but u gotta kill the music, im an alfa v6 driver and ive never put the stereo on, not even in traffic, mmmm v6 if you didnt have the music you would have won from the noise alone.
Tempremental if you buy a shed with no history, mine have not missed a beat and
have cost less than my previous german cars to own, and about 100x better looking
too....once you've owned an Alfa romeo nothing else comes close for style and noise.
These are mass production cars at bargain prices ,Crazy....

GTV is pininfarina styling (ferrari) and has a Busso V6 (Ferrari engineer) so it is
a cheap exotic baby Ferrari, great drivers cars with added carisma and italian style.
Alfa's are all galvanised so no rust issues, electrics and fuel injection Bosch so Ok.
Although Bosch mafs can be problematic if disturbed (german reliability LoL).

Instead i bought a newer 2001 GTV V6.
Lovely cars to drive and own...

What a shame they don't make these engines any more - the new GM ones don't sound half as good.

Alfa Romeo - much more interesting than the cars most "sheeple" like to buy. I have had a few cars but none compare to my Alfa 147.
