Is a Giulia faster than a GTV?

Some sort of Israeli version of Rendezvous

What was under the bonnet of the Super ??

Without good common sense it really doesn't matter what's under the hood or which car is faster, but some driving lessons are still in order...

Best regards,

The video is ok, but what I do love about the video, is the sound of a good running Alfa.

Under the bonnet I have a well tuned engine that revs very fast.

About the driving, well, 2 issues:
1. Its a public road with police in the area so...
2. I have a big problem of grip in the Super and I am looking to change soon the rear end to LSD and the wheels to something with better grip.

You can see a better driving on the track with my GTV:

Do the cops in the area drive Alfa's? that would be a fun chase!

They are not driving Alfa and believe me, you or I don't want to meet them...

I too have a nicely tuned engine in my 1750, but if I tried that in Oz, the local plod would impound the car and toss me in the big house ....

Chris -impound the car?
WOW! u guys got some pretty strict laws there

"toss me in the big house ...."

That sounds even worst...

**Chris1750** · #11 (**permalink**) 03-10-2008, 05:07 AM

Yeah - that type of driving would qualify as 'hooning' and the boys in blue view it very dimly, particularly if the car has been modified. The closest you'll get to an automobile in 'the big house' is when you get to stamp number plates.
It doesn't seem all that strict, but then we are a nation of convicts

And I thought Israel is the worst "motoric" place...
