147 GTA

Re: Hi all.. Im new, need info.. Supersprint or Ragazzon???

The 'sound' isnt an issue for me, I would prefer a 2.0 16v turbo 147 GTA if it were available
With all due respect, I totally and utterly disgree. I can understand not wanting to bother with exhaust notes, but anyone who says the roar of the Alfa V6 isn't a massive plus point over a wheezy Turbo'd 4pot needs their head looking!

After my Elise and my ITR, I just cant put up with the throttle response and lag of a Turbo. I'd take NA over Turbo'd any day of the week.

The only reason I can think of for wanting a Turbo over a V6 is petrol consumption, but I'd say that was easily trumped by sonorisity and throttle response.
