By the way, have you heard an Alfa v6 rev? If it's your first time hearing or driving a 2.5 liter Alfa V6, you're in for a treat!

and, yup, i've heard the alfa V6 rev. it is a pretty incredible engine. my brother has the a milano which ate the valves about 10 years ago and it's still awaiting its rebuild. (i guess it runs in the family!)
i still have that engine's sound embedded in my memory and can not wait to get mine running again. i'm also curious to hear the engine without the mufflers so maybe i'll give it a spin with open exhaust when putting it back together. what's it sound like with no mufflers?
