Japan vs Italy
Hi guys
Caught up with my mate to take some pics. You guys prob wouldnt have seen his car, its an 03 Alfa 156 GTA - 3.2 V6, fwd, 250hp. These cars are still quicker than the latest GM sourced 3.2 V6s in the Brera and 159 due to the much lighter weight and being only 10hp down. He has fitted the bigger Brembo calipers off the new models, same part number as the Evo's wear
enjoy!

oh i wouldnt knock the Alfa guys
if it wasnt for Alfa inventing the individually cowled dials, circular airvents, and centre gauges, the Japs wouldnt have ripped their designs and our Z's would still look like an 80s MR2 inside
here's some pics of my old Alfa 156. Mine was a 2000 model 2.0L semi-manual (think SMG) with Zender kit, same wheels, and a whole bunch of other mods. My mates car came a few years later with an updated interior and was the premium performance model of that range. I was going to upgrade to that model, until i drove the Z and fell in love with power oversteer - cant ever go back to fwd
