I don't know if this is the proper place to post these pictures. It's a friend of mine that he decide to swim in a deep waters and he modifies his beautifully alfetta to this beast.
If you want I will describe with details all the modifications, if not it doesn't matter. Just look at.
Does it require wheelie bars in the back? How much does it weigh all together? How much HP at the rear wheels? 1/4 mile or 1/8th mile track? Most important, what times can it pull?
Is the car in Greece, or is the web site a tribute to Greek Culture? Are there many drag race tracks in Greece? I would not have guessed there were any. I was shocked to find drag racing tracks in Hawaii.
Congratulations to your friend!
I suppose many Alfisti will have to keep the gag reflex in check, (An Alfa that can't turn? How revolting!) but for an old 1970's California street racer, this thing got my interest, and blood boiling. Nice!
Your friend must be really addicted to stop and go driving. Thanks for the great photos.
thats a wicked looker...i dont like the "blended" rear quarter insert area(spot that normaly has the black plastic or GTV or louvers)...and the lack of tail lights
Ok too much questions and I'ven't the knowledge to reply. Be sure that I'll ask and I'll reply asap. If you like I can send more detailed photos.
Yes the car is in Greece. He did it by himself trying to save as low as possible weight. I know that he use a BMW LSD a longer front arms and a lot of fantasy. My friend currently doing some difficult body jobs to my GT.
There are 6 drag strips in Greece and also a national championship. Check this link www.greekdragster.info.
Thanks Pakka. Tell your friend his machine is admired in the US by this old drag racer. I'll get a Greek dictionary, or try and use babblefish translation site, and go to the web site. Is your GT an Alfa as well? Fun, fun, fun!
I have been experimenting the following problem with my GTV6 rear calipers, I set the vey tight book gap margins between pads and discs (parking brake off), and then set the parking brake to 4 clicks, then I take the car for a ride and it works well for the first 200-300 kms. braking flat etc...
Hey there,
So had the Sedan out last Saturday for an aggressive mountain drive. Performed great! However, when restarting after taking a break after some heavy running I hear a lot of fuel pump noise. On the way down we did about 16 miles wihtout stopping of very tight canyon roads and...
I just replaced the passenger / right front bearings on mt GTV6 but I have a question about adjusting them.
I followed the book procedure - tighten to 20-24 NM spin, loosen, retighten to 5-10 Nm, loosen 90 degrees then insert cotter pin. I even went an extra 1/8" turn for good measure, but I...
Just saw this was posted: 1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT | eBay
Does anyone know this car? Looks "for sale" perfect; nice wheels. Thought something this nice would have been in these circles.
I have been in the market for an Alfetta to pair with my GTV6 and this is def. at the top end it seems.
Back in January I added an 86 GTV6 to the fleet. I've been doing a lot of reading since then. It was last registered in 2006, it also had a bunch of work to it in the spring of 2019 to try and bring it up to roadworthy standards which sure seemed to add up to a really big bill for the previous...
