Alfa 155 DTM rep

[Andyk]

This was a labour of love for the chap who made it....Have followed this on AO and he has done an amaxing job ... Taken him 10 years and then he goes and sells as soon as its finished....

I bet he spent more on it than he is selling it for, that is what inspired me to possibly make a 155 DTM rep, that does look awesome, the bodykit alone is 2k.

One **** of a car that's for sure.

On another note I see he has ditched the TS for a Fiat 20v turbo unit. Are they based on the same engines? 20v that's a 5 cylinder is it not?

 

[GransportFan1]

Yep it will be a 5 cylinder, i know these did not have 5v per cylinder so it cant be a 4 pot. Only car i know of with 5v per cylinder is a Ferrari 355.

 

[Andyk]

Would imagine it goes a bit with the turbo unit in........He gave me some advice when I was thinking of doing something like this a few years back.....His attention to detail has been amazing and a car well worth having in your garage for track days.........

Adam.he says he has put 30k into it easily

 

[BigFoot]

One of my favourite ever cars (the original one that is).

 

[Andyk]

Me to..up there with my fav touring cars of all time.

 

[GransportFan1]

2.0L widebody is regarded as the best 155 apparently, i think i would want the V6 though.

 

[Andyk]

Drove one Adam and I prefered my 2.0L wide body...Engine madethe car feel heavy....

 

[toomanyhorses]

Sold!

Not surprised. Someone's got themselves a little gem there

 

[Andyk]

Certainly have Mark......Would make a great fun car and it looks great......Did not think he was going to sell once completed.

 

[dem maser]

thats one track car........

 

[GransportFan1]

I think i would rather spend 12k on something like this.

[dem maser]

shall we ban adam??

 

[GransportFan1]

No........... That Evo would be untouchable Dem, 450 bhp!!!

 

[dem maser]

you dis our 155 for that??!!

 

[GransportFan1]

Yep, the Japanese know how to make a quick car.

 

[Andyk]

God alive Adam...thought you had taste........Yes.yes.yes...its fast but no passion.........How could you pick an Evo over a DTM 155 REP.......................Dem, I think we should send Adam to Coventry for 1 hour...;-)

 

[GransportFan1]

I do want an Evo one day, just for the speed, nothing else.

 

[Andyk]

Adam, I love the EVO for what it can do....Driven a few......
