The Alfa Thread

Alfas > Bimmers tho

I still kinda want a GTV6, even though they are supposedly terrible cars build wise.

E30 > Alfas > Porsche

Fixed for ya!

There's a GTV6 around here that hits the track days occasionally, and it's pretty wicked sounding. Thought there also was one running Chump car, but may be mistaken.

yes, i keep looking at them too. there is nothing in that price range that comes close to making that alfa exhaust note. every time i actually come close to going to look at one, i just hit myself in the dick with a baseball bat. i figure its easier to get the pain and heart ache out of the way immediately while saving about 7 grand. from a reliability standpoint, they are generally a disaster. and the rust.....

^ Smart man. Still, a Callaway Turbo would be sort of cool. They are rare, but one might really scoot.... when it worked. hahaha. http://www.alfagtv6.com/callaway.htm

snapped this today. It didn't sell in September so I guess I'll relist it in spring. Kind of a unicorn (series 2 but Bosch electronic fuel injection). 94k. Wish someone would buy it!

Black is the best color on those. What year? Where did you list it?

Angry catfish styling to compliment the Miata's angry frog.

I had two of these as a young punk.

Pininfarina body, light, aluminum 1600 twin-cam designed by a Ferrari engineer, great 5 speed, pretty reliable, nimble, fun to drive.

The fact that I bought them both as trashed beaters didn't help - I got rid of the last one so I could afford the Duetto.

(EDIT - these are NOT my cars!)




I always thought the coupe was pretty stylish too.


Like most sports cars then, they were ruined by bumpers, emissions controls, weight, AC, and electric windows.
