I just got the Japanese magazine - Alfa Romeo (Tipo special issue) and read about the 156 GTAm. That thing looks awesome! With those wide body kit (just like the BTCC cars)!!

There is some other great articles in the magazine. I will scan some of them as soon as I am home.

Found this photo of a 156 GTA Sportwagon sometime ago. I know its not a GTAm, but as they are similar I though you all might like to see it anyway.

That's a clean 156. I wish we had them in the states.

Look at the way it resembles the BTCC racer...

Sorry about the scan quality. Don't want to bend the magazine too much. This is going to be one of my most treasured magazine.

The rear fender is like 2 - 3 inches away from the body! COOL!!

I got it from Asahiya Bookstore in the Mistuwa Little Tokyo.

This gotta be the coolest Alfa in the magazine (2nd is the 147 GTA Cup version) which post a slightly slower lap time than the full race prepared 146 GTA Cup race car in the shootout (1:07.685 vs 1:04.767)
Not bad for a 30 yr old next to a brand new factory prepared racer. It's also faster than any other race prepared 156, 155, AlfaSud and 145.

It has Carbon fiber hood and trunk lid, splitter in the front, air box, and side doors, fully adjustable coil-overs!! All available from www.oldtimer.to

(EDIT!!! Old Timer new website http://www.s-oldtimer.com/ )

This is from my favorite road track - Macau GP - Race Track Guia.

My "HOME" track... one of the building in the background is actually my home building!

That 69 GTV is the Baddest GTV i have seen. Carbon Fiber hood, trunk,and splitter. Hopefully one day i could set my car up like that.

I just found more pictures of the black GTAm on Nizam's website! Same black GTAm on the same stand, just more better quality picture of it.

Nizam - may I post the link here?

BTW, where did you take those?

I didn't take those. I got those off the web and thought it'd be best if I had a copy, too and put it up there on a site I can remember! (you know how links get lost quickly!)

Wish I could get one of those...

Sometime in the future i need to buy that car. That is the nicest 156 in the world (well to me it is)
