      If Alfa could build cars to anywhere approaching Japanese build quality and reliability, they could pretty well name their price and buyers would line up. But they can’t.

    Guys, the classic Alfa shown in the video is a GTAm, not a GTA, so the voiceovers mismatches the subject. The differences are way beyond the body width. The classic GTAm is a different car, without alloy body panels and many other allegerita refinements of the GTA (not necessary as the mininum weight for the championships it was designed for were larger, so the GTAm lightweight recipe is way simpler), 2 liter engine, fuel injection, no thinner glass, etc.

    • @RobertKarlBerta
      @RobertKarlBerta 3 роки тому +8

      Correct. The original GTA was a very light car and that gave it an advantage in handling but the GTAm was a larger more powerful engine so was faster....different generation of the car. My AROC in Detroit has a member who has a real GTA. He drives it on track days and autocrosses and is a very fast driver. Amazing that a car 60 years old can blow off the latest high powered sports cars. If you want one in excellent condition you are looking at a quarter of a million dollars. The original GTAm are probably even more. You can get an improved GTAm reproduction of your own from ALFAHolics. They are amazing but be prepared to pay big bucks....but they will make most super cars look like snails. Another member of our club has one and it also has carbon fiber doors, hood, trunk, and lots of other trick stuff.

    Despite making FWD cars for the past 30 years, they HAVE still managed great success on the global stage, both on and off the race track. The 155 dominated in BTCC guise and the 156 is one of their all time best sellers. Not to mention privateers using the Giulietta in WTCC series with abundant winnings, only hope to see some Giulias giving the germans a run for their money like they did back in 90s DTM.
    But otherwise, a great and factual feature 👏🏽

    There is a massive difference between the GTA and the GTAm which you have not mentioned. The GTAm is not a widened GT Alleggerita, but rather a 1750 gtv with fiberglass fenders, doors trunk lid and hood. A 1750 block increased to 2 liter and a narrow fuel injected head. Many fail to check these significant differences.

    I had a friend (RIP) who was racing GTAs in the late Sixties. This friend told me he went to a historical race in southern Germany. He used to own an Alfa Romeo dealership fifty years ago and he knew how to work on classic Alfa Romeos: He told me: Of all the GTAs on the track there was only ONE that sounded right and was really properly tuned. (I think the original GTA is actually a car meant for the track and is not really a street car). There are only a hand full of people left who have the knowledge to work on those classics.
    I have another friend who owned a street version of the GTA way back. A mechanic I know well owned a Alfa Romeo GTAm and he attended historical races with it about 5 years ago.
    The new Giulia is a revelation at least from the optical point of view. An Italian friend who owned Lancias for nearly fifty years bought one: A sensational Beauty.
    Last week I could drive a 66 Duetto we have in our family. While it is not up to the modern standard when it comes to comfort it is still a blast to drive. Even my Grandma used to own several Giulias. The old Giulia was never beautiful, but a great car. I remember when they sold street versions of the original 33. Testers in Europe said that they were not good as a street car. Extremely low, extremely rough.

    New car looks very cool (and crazy powerful). But I just can’t get over the weigh figures for the old cars. I know it’s down to modern safety systems etc in the newer car. But I just keep coming back to the Lotus approach of “add lightness”. When you drive a lightweight car, it’s an eye opener! 😎

    • @fastcargtv6
      @fastcargtv6 3 роки тому +1

      Alfa has tried. The recently withdrawn 4C was such a car under 1 ton with all the necessary safety equipment on it to be road legal in the 2010s. OK it isn't your primary car nor the Giulia Sprint GTA was at that time. But of course the cars are heavier than they were in the 60s to 80s, but lighter than they were 10-15 years ago.
      If we look at the V12 Lambos for example. In 1973 when the first production Countach hit the customer it was 1080 kgs which became 1490 kg by the end of the 80s in its last iteration. Another decade later the Murciélago was presented with 1820 kg on the scale (which was the weight of the heaviest version of the W126 Mercedes S-Class back in the 80s). Then one another decade later they were able to scrub a whoppy 200 kgs from it for the Aventador still keeping the 4WD system and all the doodads it has to carry.
      So we are back on track with weight reduction but we never get back to the level where the cars were at the turn of the 60s and 70s. All the safety and comfort equipment means weight and you can't offer cars without them let it be the reason legislative or driven by the customers' requirements.

It has amazing straight line performance while sharing the platform and suspension. Nothing in the category can match it for driving pleasure.

    I don't think the Alfa Tipo 33 had only limited success as it won the 1975 World Sportscar Championship with total dominance winning 7 of the 8 races (not counting the Daytona race as with exception of Porsche no significant team has attended). And its last iteration in 1977 won all 8 races, but it's true in that year the series had a lower reputation and because of the absence of other car manufacturers and the loss of overseas events in 1978 it became European Sportscar Championship which finally came to an end by the end of the year.
    But even in its early form it won the 2-litre category finishing on 3rd position overall in the championship behind the 7-litre Ford GT and the 3-litre Porsche 907/908. In 1971 it was 2nd behind Porsche with the newly developed 3-litre engine.

    The tipo 33 tt12 had "limited success"? It dominated world sports car racing in the 70s with two world championships. In 1977 it won the championship by winning every single race.

    Alfa'holics GTA is one of the best-looking cars and said to be one of the best handling cars out there!
    Shame about the price :(

      You don’t need all of what Alfaholics have done...great as much as their car is..many reckon it’s a bit of a “Frankenstein” car now. You could get a very good early 70’s car (with the 4 headlights and retro fit the wider wings (as Autodelta went along with steel panels during this time..although the 1300 Step Nose remained aluminium panelled with the wider arches and lovely 13 inch rims)
      Just a thought..so if you are still dreaming...you could make it a reality...I have...
      I got a blank canvas Alfa 105 from South Africa...Step Nose conversion..aluminium front wings and front valance. It’s got a 1750 in it which many of the purists actually prefer to a 2.0 litre! I would say even with the time and effort put into it..it’s probably worth circa £30-35k...not bad considering Alfaholics offering at circa £250k!
      ALSO..FOR THE RECORD...I AM..NOT...SLATING Alfaholics...just stating you DO NOT need to spend that amount of money to get a VERY GOOD running, usable classic that to be honest..with today’s engineering (mine) is probably as good as an original 105 GTA..JUST...

    I was deeply in love with my Alfa 159 SW. But the reliability... it cost me more than 10000€ in repairs and maintenance in just 5 years. I have broken down 4 times and the car was in repair for a total of about 3 months. This was just too much for me for a daily driver.

    I have an 1969 1750 spider that was parked for 23 years until one day I saw it under a tarp , I bought it for 2500.00 dollars . A month later the guys wanted to buy it back after they found out what they are worth now, I said no , Im keeping it.
