3200 GT visit to Surrey Rolling Road.

Mine and Ian's both made shy of 460 bhp down with DMS Southampton mine at the time was on 97,000 Phil.

Shame we can't make them lighter without being silly, 1650 kilos more or less is far too heavy!

That's quite impressive Phil. I assume it was with a DMA remap too?

Indeed but not far off most of their rivals. I am tempted to strip mine out but it's a shame to get rid of that lovely alcantara headlining and some of the finest Italian hide

Stick in some 4200 vinyl

Mwhahahahahahahahahahahah

4200 grade Faux Leather?

 

[mjheathcote]

It's just a shame you 3200 owners can't do anything about your inferior front to rear weight balance!!!

 

[alfatwo]

Here with go again....so you think the 4200 is lighter because of the vinyl trim and the cheapo rear Honda lights

Dave

 

[mjheathcote]

It's slightly heavier, was keeping that detail quiet!

....but we have more power to make up for it!

I reckon the results from a 3200 Vs 4200 stock shootout would be very interesting and I'd definitely be up for organising something if we could get say 6 of each and maybe the same number of QP's and GranSport/GT's.

 

[philw696]

Would be interesting to see the differences and yes me and Ian had the DMS remap.

Oh yes!

Love the sound at top end Mike....not sure about the dodgy cambio thingy gear changes though

You can't beat a proper 6 speed manual!

Dave

 

[mjheathcote]

It sounded much better than that recorded...the microphone couldn't cope!

 

[allandwf]

....but we have more power to make up for it!

Allegedly

 

[Contigo]

So with Larini silencers on it Produced 389 BHP (385 BHP) and 350 FtLb (332). Very close to official figures then . I reckon the 3200's with their forced induction and extra torque could well win the shootout.

 

[alfatwo]

Whoooo... Benny won't like the sound of this!

Dave

 

[mjheathcote]

Here is the plot.
On the day I was last with my mate putting on his 997 Turbo, which also produced stock figures.
Interestingly the cars before from the Alfa Romeo owners club generally produced figures below stock, some much less.
Therefore I was pleased, the more you have, the more you can loose as a % if things aren't quite right.

 

[Contigo]

I'd go all out to say now that 3200's will produce more than the 4200's then. Will get something organised and post up potential dates....
