Words cannot express how much I adore this car and all the work and love you've put into it. I am going to have to get rich purely to buy one and drive it every single day for the rest of my life. It's the most beautiful car in the world. Good job chaps.
We followed you through to Bergwerk from T13 in a Grey R35. What a real pleasure to watch this little treasure being driven how it should be driven! One of life's moments for me...a fellow Alfisti!
That symphony of exhaust, the “snick” of that precise shifter, the squeal of the tires and the skill of that driver! That’s one of the best runs I have ever seen on the ring.
It does now but back then it had a 2 litre TS with two Weber 45s on it and 216 bhp. We rebuilt the whole car a few years ago. It's now got 240 bhp from a 2.2 litre Twinspark on throttle bodies and the whole thing weighs 70 kg less even though it now has a full interior, and has much more developed suspension. Back then it was around 250 bhp/ton, it's now 290/ton. In current GTA-R 290 form it's lapped the 'Ring in less than 8 minutes. It's a very different car now!@@gaussrifle1988
Dropped my rebuit 2lt Nord back into my mark 1 1750 the other day. Gearbox, webbers, everthing done. Clocked 110mph on a back road out near Boona (QLD, Australia) still pulling, just magic.
This was majestic! ❤️ The sound coming from the engine, the sound coming off the tyres, the Porche unable to get away, even the click with every gear change adds to that!
Brutal, just brutal I have never ever heard such a sweet sounding engine. I’m in love. The driver too was something special, hitting the apexes, braking etc. It was all the over the Porsche, granted the Porsche had it 21st century driving aids and more hp and all that bla…bla… but the Alfa and the driver where seriously out of this world.
@@Jb001jb Yeah that's my thought process as well. Ideally i'd find an original GTAM shell for resto & build the car around that with as many Alfaholics parts as possible. Beninca Motors in Melbourne do good engine and race/track day car preparation & have engine and shock dyno's
No way... lol.. unbelievable.. I never knew our old Alfa's have this much potential... wow. You had the GT3 in your sights the whole time... you guys need to make more videos like this. Well done Alfaholics. Well done indeed! Great driving...
Stephen Manjai it’s been modified by alfaholics, suspension, brakes, stripped weight + engine bored to 2.3L. A regular stock gta can’t keep up with the gt3 (edit: price tag for alfa around £200.000)
Loved my 1750GTV and wish I still had it. But this? What an absolutely joyous monster of a car. Oh, how I wish I had this. Congratulations Alfaholics, you have created a sublime vehicle and work of art.
I’ve ridden bikes on track at a decent level in the past, this is the equivalent of a well sorted 250cc 2 stroke destroying the ego of every 1000cc rider in the corners, and the thou rider, rides off track, then out of the track afterwards with his tail between his legs. What a glorious intake roar, handling and balance that car has. I’m having one when I’m minted. 😎
Would love to see the rear view video from this Porsche of this Alfa Romeo looming large at every corner. That would be 8 minutes of video worth watching!
You can really see that the Porsche is struggling with its weight despite the fact that it has obviously more power but in the corners, it's just being blown away by the Alfa. Nimble and very agile, there were corners and lines that the Alfa took without any hesitation but would've been detrimental to other cars. It just turned and grips the road like a bubblegum.
TheStuntdude12 - handling performance is about mass to road speed and tyre grip, more than just pure power weight, which may be similar. Without exception, lighter cars handle better.
I think with a small turbo, he probably gets by him, Porsche just too much in the straights, but damn the little bastard corners on a dime. Great stuff
The Porsche, overloaded with technic and Electronic and the Alfa Romeo only with four wheels, a steering wheel, an engine and such big smokey BALLS...!!! O.O Just impressive!!!
+Jonka Olofsson if you haven't seen it already you should watch swiss chris's video where he drives the m3 gts vs the ringtaxi. imo that one is even better. but this alfa is living up to it's name for sure on the ring in the video.
The Porsche slowed him down in a few places. That and tweaking some of the lines would give an even better time, I think. The driving is good enough as it is. Wow. What a car.
Beautiful!! Just freakin beautiful!! Each time you changed gears that shifter goes click click like fine piece of Italian wizardry. Great driving with balls to boot! Love it! Thank you! "It's the song of my people".
This looks like a real proof that for a alfa romeo gta it's almost impossible to win a race with a porche 911... even with more HP the alfa can't beat a porche aerodynamics on a track... Anyway great driving the alfa gta 👍
Alfaholics should add the dual oil-pump compressors of the GTA SA, with wastegate, better cooling and power output management .. the 1600cc GTA SA had 250 hp at the time
Thanks for all the lovely comments!

YES, this *SNICK* is PURRFECT!
Quite probably the best comment on UA-cam. Love it.
@@GCooks99 2:42 This truly is. And I've fallen deep into love.
This comment has put the biggest smile on my face thank you so much
The driver seems to know his car very well. He drove so nicely to the limits and the car behaved still well. Pure pleasure to watch 👍.
this is the best camera position inside a cockpit EVER. and the car is also one of best best ever (for me at least).
Amazing video!

Exhaust ??🤨🤨
The incredible sound you are hearing is from the ITB's.. its from the engine..
@@jortepap yeah, that too.
Twin Weber 45s back then!
@@jimspackman8527 I think it has fuel injection with ITB's! But you have right!

One of the best laps of the Nurburgring you'll see - some great driving. Cracking car; it owned the 911!

It would be interesting to see how fast the Alfa gets around without a Porsche slowing it down in the corners
In the Top Gear video they claimed the 230 hp version can go sub 8
I love the soundtrack to this video
All around one of the best ring videos I’ve ever watched.
Beautiful video of a gourgeous car being driven by an amazing pilot!
It's always nice to see a 50 years old car overtaking modern sport cars :)
This was 2013. IMagine what the latest 2019 GTA-R290 with 240BHP could do..
@@asr1143 You order a Junior from those guys, and you're a Senior by the time it's delivered..

@@dragosxtc1901 Yes I totally agree. But having the courage to take this Alfa to 138 mph (220 km/h) is way harder 😅
what a car and what a driver ;-)
as of Jan. 2 2018, 8 dislikes are from jealous Porsche fans

So good, what a wonderful sound. I love the way the gear change sounds like a well oiled bolt action rifle.
Faaaak that was a nice bit of driving! Bet everyone who watched this had a smile on their dial😃. Wish the Porsche had a rear facing camera going!!
Great little Alfa GTA, super driving following that Porsche.You've done Alfa Romeo proud in that little beauty.Siperb.
Great driving skills bro !!! Alfa Romeo forever...
Loved my 1750GTV and wish I still had it. But this? What an absolutely joyous monster of a car. Oh, how I wish I had this. Congratulations Alfaholics, you have created a sublime vehicle and work of art.

I love the click of the gearbox more than the sound of the engine itself 😊
What's most, is that the water-cooled beetle couldn't get away. That's what an old pure Alfa is.
Great piece of pedalling and your car is obviously well sorted, it looks so balanced on the edge. Love it! Bet the driver of the Porker was surprised!
Would love to see the rear view video from this Porsche of this Alfa Romeo looming large at every corner. That would be 8 minutes of video worth watching!
A chap from Morgan brought me here but by god it was worth it. Stunning work.
+Stuart Hamilton Me too :-)
Absolute Alfa Opera !!!
Good hand placement when changing gears,the throws are all proper.
That click when you shift is so satisfying
You can really see that the Porsche is struggling with its weight despite the fact that it has obviously more power but in the corners, it's just being blown away by the Alfa. Nimble and very agile, there were corners and lines that the Alfa took without any hesitation but would've been detrimental to other cars. It just turned and grips the road like a bubblegum.
Randolf Garrido similar power to weight
TheStuntdude12 - handling performance is about mass to road speed and tyre grip, more than just pure power weight, which may be similar. Without exception, lighter cars handle better.
Alfa driver is better than Porshe on and pushing the limits, Porshe driver is kinda relaxing and not pushing it...
@777 that's a slow lap for a gt3rs
I just love the GTA with all my heart. At some points the driver makes it look as easy as a sunday morning driving around town.
The handling, he was all over that Porsche in the corners. Wow
Alfa driver has big big skills and knows the ring like his pockets, i love to see how he bite the modern Porsche tail from minute 07:00 and so on
Brilliant driving skills, no words necessary about the car - keep on racing!

Such a beautiful car. That driver must really have the best time. Jealous is the best word here..happy for him, though
Daytona and Sebring, 1966 - 1967...
Memories!
With the Lancia Fulvias

A whole other race in the race!
HEAVEN!

I think with a small turbo, he probably gets by him, Porsche just too much in the straights, but damn the little bastard corners on a dime.
Great stuff
Fantastic car and a tidy bit of driving to boot. I'm certain the 911 driver was quite perplexed by the view in the mirror.
What an absolutely beautifully balanced car. And the driver... no words..... awesome 👌🏽
The Porsche, overloaded with technic and Electronic and the Alfa Romeo only with four wheels, a steering wheel, an engine and such big smokey BALLS...!!! O.O Just impressive!!!
Bravissimo Alfaholics!!!Grande macchina,Grande pilota!Spettacolo puro!!!!
What a car! Excellent driver
Old 75 1,8 turbo owner...
Very nice, but I miss the reaction of the GT3 driver ! I wanna see his or her face :-)
"...and yet, i keep seeing this 1300 gt junior in the mirror... that's when I said to myself, no more cocaine, ever"
Its funny to think how the GT3 is probably the cheaper of the two cars as well haha but we all know which one is cooler!
Good work, he did not really ever manage to shake you off...impressive
A steady lap for the GT3 though the Alfa is well driven and sounds lovely
It reminds me the sound of the 4A-GE, amazing car! Alfa Romeo is love and life
Best video i've seen in a long time, MAN it sounds good and growly! Gotta love the old Alfas.
+Jonka Olofsson if you haven't seen it already you should watch swiss chris's video where he drives the m3 gts vs the ringtaxi. imo that one is even better. but this alfa is living up to it's name for sure on the ring in the video.
this must be one of the best in-car videos........... in the world
it should come with a warning - Don't forget to breath
Amazing car, amazing noise, and spectacular driving!
Top work!
Great car and great driver!
Wow nice driving skills! And what a nice car, no modern techology, just raw power! :D
Nice video
0 unlikes with 45,000 views! Awesome!
The Porsche slowed him down in a few places. That and tweaking some of the lines would give an even better time, I think. The driving is good enough as it is. Wow. What a car.
You don't need pricey therapy sessions when there are videos like this out there 👍
Time to upload in a much higher quality, thanks ;-)
The intire video, watched with a smile on My face.. Thx for Sharing! .. Lovely ride.. Impressive controle..
Brilliant filming, camera angle, framing..and some nice driving as well
An absolutely amazing beast driven by some incredible driver
Hats off sire
oh... it reminds me the sound of my Alfa 33 Imola. Thtat 1.4 L boxer had a great sound when pushing 2° and 3° gear
i've got chills hearing this historical engine...fantastic car and great driver
Beautiful!! Just freakin beautiful!! Each time you changed gears that shifter goes click click like fine piece of Italian wizardry. Great driving with balls to boot! Love it! Thank you! "It's the song of my people".
To be able to keep that GT3 in sight is a testament to the Alfa AND this driver!!!
Perfektly driven and VERY fast and good reaction in some difficult corners! You made my Day ;-)
Wow! Genuinely impressive driving skills!
The old Colin Chapman mantra; make it light, make it handle. The Porker's dead meat in the twisty bits.
Wonderful driving mate
I could live with one of those Alfa’s!❤
This car looks so predictable and balanced, I imagine it’s incredibly fun on track!!
That GT3 driver must be like "WTF is behind me?!?!?"
Great video, the Alfa had that Porsche beat on the bends, you did the wee car proud. Well done!
Good driving by the both of you at Adenauer!!
Another of the many examples of why I'm so happy to finally own an Alpha Romeo!
Alfa
Just imagine taking 136 mph (220 km/h) in that little Alfa, this guy got some courage
What a ride! :)
Wow, you are able to keep up with that 911, very impressive!!!
¡ Que Máquina ! ...¡ Great Pilot...! Congratulations from Argentina...
That camera angle reminds of those epic 007 car chase scenes 👉🤩
Frigging amazing. I've watched that so many times
What a Champion ☝️
Awesome car... awesome driving 🔥
Proper car properly driven 👍😀
Old cars never die they just go faster:)
This looks like a real proof that for a alfa romeo gta it's almost impossible to win a race with a porche 911... even with more HP the alfa can't beat a porche aerodynamics on a track... Anyway great driving the alfa gta 👍
What makes it even more amazing is that there is no aero on this car! Great work
Absolutely stunning! :+ )
Alfaholics should add the dual oil-pump compressors of the GTA SA, with wastegate, better cooling and power output management .. the 1600cc GTA SA had 250 hp at the time
This racing Line ist so fuckin awesome!!!! That car and that sound....Totally Alfagasm :)
Great driving, and beautiful car.
BRAVO! Superb. Great to see these being driven as they should be. That engine sounds amazing.
That's some very high quality driving.
Awesome! Nice ride!! Alfa 🤘
This is my new dream car! Unbelievable machine!
The trottle body's sound is fantastic!!!!
What a ride! I was thrilled all the lap, and honestly, I hoped that the Porsche driver would make a mistake :-)
Epic! Fantastic drive.
