amazing engine note and soundtrack! think its a 2.5V6. i actually think there are manual ones here but dunno if anyone is still keeping it. its def a better alternative to the oil burner, tax heavy 3.2

[Cool_jazz]

One of the nicest sounding engine this side of a Ferrari/Lambo.

Cool, bro.

[Carcraze]

see how the good drivers get out of the overtaking lane when the alfa was approaching? you hardly experience this on our roads.

[Felipe]

ure absolutely right. here is u have to 'unlap' yrself. i consider the slower cars in front as 'backmarkers'. too bad we dun have marshalls to wave blue flags like F1. the thing is when u 'unlap' yrself, the fellow in front will speed up. so heres my experience-

 

im on extreme right lane. i go left to overtake slower car B in right lane in front of me. so i downshift to 4th. As i go alongside him, i suddenly realises he picks up speed. so to make that overtaking move, i have to down one more gear to 3rd. All this done when theres really no car in front of car B and it cud have just move left rather than hold me up.

 

another thing is i dont understand y ppl tailgate. im on the extreme right lane, im going as fast as necessary as there are several cars ahead of me and i cant go any faster. in F1, heard its not a good idea to be really close to the car in front as you're just sucking in dirty air. so i guess theres a rationale in not tailgating?

there are a few 156 2.5 v6 unit running arund..

but all got clutch slip problem..so i think all kena export lah

 

but the 2.5 v6 156 q system still around

[Crummytyre]

Not all.

[Felipe]

clutch slip problem? so wats the solution? replace the clutch? im sure it can be resolved rite just like selespeed problems

[King]

even replace also same problem...so my firend end up brought a q system 2.5 V6

[Felipe]

but the q system is a 4 speed auto rite? btw, never really seen this clutch slip problem on other overseas Alfa forums. may be a case of not persisting enuf i guess

for your info there was only 2 manual units sold for the 2.5v6 manual, both red, both also dont have clutch slip problem. one was a '99 model and exported early this year when owner swap for a GT 3.2. the other one was sold in '02 to an expat, could have been exported too as he has left the country.

 

there were total 4 owners for those 2 cars and i know all of them, who's your friend with the 156 2.5v6 manual with clutch slip problem?
