14:34 Verdict
hello comrades! this is the owner of the car. its my daily, my only car and this was my first ever passenger ride in my own car and My first time at a race track, let alone my first nurburgring lap. Misha was the first one to test drive the car properly after the engine swap was done last week in england. Drove it untuned to holland and got it tuned the day before misha drove. After the lap i did 3 laps of my own and that was enough for me. what the video does not convey is the elevation change and the g forces that ive never felt before, which i certainly feelt numerous times as i forgot to breathe plenty of times during the drive. Thank you misha for scaring the shit out of me, i could not sleep until 03:00 that night and drove 36 hours back home to Norway the day after. Core Memory unlocked! Car Specs: Alfa Romeo GTV 916 (1993-2004) 1998 model Modified Fiat Tipo 2 chassis same as the brother (Fiat Coupe) 2,540 mm wheel base. 1390kg 3.2 V6 24V engine swap from the 156 GTA Light Weight GTA flywheel Quaife LSD GTA Cams Squadra Tuning 270hp at the crank with new 7350 rpm redline BMC CDA airbox Equal Length Downpipes 1 of 1 Titanium Wizard Catback Exhaust OverRacing Titanium strut brace 30% short throw shifter 26mm alfaholics anti rollbars front and rear Steering ratio: 2.2 Turns Lock to Lock 4 Piston front Caliper from the GTA/Evo/WRX Bigger master cylinder 23.9 Braided brakelines PFC Z rated front pads (i thought it was 11 as its called 1001.11) and Yellowstuff rear. this was why the pads did not hold up.

Car was standard when i bought it 5 years ago, been upgrading for the past 5 years. i drive it between 8000 - 12 000km each year. North Norway season is may until late september. Its been driven 2 seasons in the snow -20degrees c at the most. with the new body kit its too low so its now reserved only for the summer. Any Questions you might have feel free to tag me and ask in the comments.
You have an amazing car!
Amazing car my friend! You’ve created a beautiful piece.
It's very easy to see that you have a crazy passion for your car, its absolutely stunning. And props for reacting so well for the first time in the passenger seat
36 hour drive from nurburg to norway? How?
One of the most exciting laps lately. Cheers!
The old girl moves well, one of the best sounding V6 for sure 💪
Sounds fantastic. I wish they made parts for it. Imagine with a cam, revving to 8 grand.
This and the v6 jag f-type ❤
@@kens8903 Glorious sound
It's the equal length headers and 4 pipes

As an Italian this is not as exotic to me as it is for most of you, but this car in particular looks pristine, it's not overdone and sounds very very good, bravo!!
As an eastern european its not as exotic to me either. 🗿👍
@@user-hs4yv7me7pit should be tho. Dont think you have much Alfas in the US in the first place 😂
у меня давно , в 2006 году была альфа ромео33 спринтер 1.3 аппозит расточеный до 1.5 , двухкарбюраторный. кузов 905 берлинго . поверь мне, лучше по драйву небыло ниодной другой, а было всяких машин разных много. на той альфа ромео подвеска а именно передние пружины были от 164 и подвеска была очень грубая, оюаортизаторы казались каменныии. за счет внешне незаметных доработок она проходила повороты 90 градусов на скорости 60-70 км/ч но обязательно на 2 передаче и на высоких оборотах и давая еще больше газу чтоб передние колеса вытягивали иначе опрокидывание. и в этих поворотах чувствовалась дикая боковая нагрузка и лишь задние колеса с хрустом плавно срывались с дороги. мы так выезжали на оживленную автомагистраль и водители видя с какой скоростбю мы идем поперек их дороги сворачивали в обочину и тормозили будучи уверенными что мы не впишемся в поворот 😁😁 в плане разгона надальность онане была сильна, но до 170км/чшла в ровень с бмв е32 с мотором 3.5 ивсе поражались тому кактакая невзрачная машинка может такое делать😁😁 ваши машины самые красивые и стильные и быстрые в европе. естественно кроме фиата😁😁😁
But it's quick
It's not exotic, but seeing it drive like this certainly is, and makes it more exotic in my eyes for sure.
Damn, mine is the red Subaru just in front when the lap started. My first lap ever on the ring. When Misha flew past me I was honestly scared shitless and that's when the adrenaline really kicked in for me 😂Couldn't stop shaking after that lap so I only ended up doing one. Had a chat with the owner of the car afterwards though, that car is one hell of a story !
That's a beautiful colour on your wagon. I still miss my old white one. Maybe I'll get another one day.
@@phillxor thank you! I wanted a WR blue one but when my importer presented me with the discovery of the existence of garnet red pearl BP5s, I knew I had to get it 😅
I've owned both cars and the Subaru takes it for me on most accounts, including driving enjoyment! What engine does yours have?
@@asimmalik6378 It's the Japanese spec.B 2.0GT with the EJ20X!
Im happy that you know the story but sad that misha slways in a hurry and not like to talk much about specs :(((
Damn, he wasn't lying, that really sounds like a Baby Ferrari F12 v12! Love that.
The Alfa Arese V6 was designed by Ferrari Technical Director Giuseppe Busso. He worked for both Alfa Romeo and Ferrari but used his technical expertise when designing the racing engines for his time with Ferrari to design this engine. So it is essentially a Ferrari V6 engine.
Garbage can
Non...ce n'est pas une baby Ferrari,c'est une Alfa Romeo.....et c'est Alfa Romeo qui a créé Ferrari et non l'inverse!!!!
That sound is why I want an Alfa V6 to stick in my MX5. They sound amazing.
Totally agree with that my 06 nc sounds brilliant with the racing beat exhaust but with that howling busso----? Wow!!😊
Like what auto Alex off car throttle did
Haven't seen that yet------will investigate
Also the torque
Why not a KLZE?
I am actually shocked how well this moves , props to the owner for making such a work of art. The sound is truly unreal.
This touches my heart. I had the luck to be the proud owner of a 156 SW 2.5. Busso greatness. It never missed a beat.
Giuseppe himself smiles on both of you from the great garage in the sky.
@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 😄
The 2000's Alfa (147/156/GT/GTV 916) are some of the best FWD ever. Timeless design, great handing and incredible sound from the legendary Busso V6. They deserve much more attention and videos!
The engine is indeed one of the best. The cars around it unfortunately are very mediocre. The competition shredded the alfa in terms of handling and refinement. Yes its a very legendary engines, but that's about it.
@@Diac13stop with these bullshit/urban legends around Alfa. I have a GT 1.9 JTD 180hp since 2019, bought as my first car at 20 y.o (it was my childhood dream car), awesome to drive, very comfortable with luxury leather interior, Bose Audio sistem, one of the few coupé homologated for 5 people with a big connected trunk, timeless design by Bertone (most beautiful car award in 2004), it always makes you smile thanks to his great handing&incredible road holding (due to very sophisticated suspensions), so much torque and lightness. I traveled (and enjoyed) over 50.000km in all conditions with zero problems. JTD is one of the most reliable engines (Busso as well). Most of the JTD Alfas have 250k/300k km (even beyond with just regular servicing) and they're still around, with great gas mileage and lots of tuning potential, too. They literally invented Common Rail and won many Europeans Touring Car Championships with their FWD against BMW. So don’t speak from hearsay.
@Diac13 I don't think so, the 156 was a hit and time has proved that modern Fwd Alfas were behind them in more than one area. None of them without its flaws, bit they get under your skin like no others can..
@@Diac13 Have you seen the moose test between 2000s sedans? 159 shredded the other cars. Alfa always makes great handling cars with few exceptions. The steering is one of the best parts, equal if not better than a Ferrari's. You sound like someone who didn't try an Alfa Romeo in his life. I adore my 159 and my friend never recovered from selling his Alfa GT. Btw, my 159 1.9JTD 16v is inherited from my father, bought new and still going strong with 300k, as @mauromolinari99 said, they're reliable engines, I would go as far as saying that the 1.9JTD 8v is as reliable as the VAG's 1.9TDI . The only version of modern Alfas (2006 onwards) not worth buying is any with the 3.2 V6 JTS. The JTS technology is great, but it can't save a terrible and heavy GM engine...
My first car was a 2.0TS 147 facelift on eibach springs. Best thing that can happen to a 17 year old kid
finally a Busso engine under the hands of Misha...an amazing video, really enjoyable
There was also 156 2.5. that's also Busso
@@mrozu_ar yeah you are right, but that car sucks
@@eddie.antola 156's extremely common for racing, but mostly it's 2.0TS.
@@ineedcash09 yeah but not wagoon, and not crashed
Oh the memories..I've had a blue GTV 1.8 twin spark years ago.155 horse power only but on twisty roads it was a real pleasure to drive.
My first car was exactly the same, blue over tan twin spark. Sold it more than 10 years ago but I still love that car.
An Alfa on Micha's channel always makes my day ❤🍀
Was never a particular fan of Alfa, but this....this is such a work of art. The design of the car, that engine, that noise....incredible. As time progresses, this will be a certain classic. Gorgeous machine.
Brand sure lost its spirit through the years, 90s were the last coffs already. If you havent, i suggest you to read or watch something about their golden era, really fascinating. They were cutting edge when it came to street sports cars and even if they didnt always make the festest cars, each one of them was a reflection of what truly is to be called motorsport.
This is a 30 year old model! The reason why you think it WILL be a classic is because its already a timeless design as all Alfas are. It is a classic!
@@HongOuMandel44 their new cars nowadays look really fast to be fair, reliability is still ferarri tho
Search for the video -“ Alfa Romeo 156 3.2 F1 exhaust”
Busso sounds amazing. I'm impressed that it moves so well still!
Well ,pouring a bunch of money on it, helped alot.
@@411nightnheaven How much did he spend and on what?
This car brings back great memories! My dad used to have one of these when I was a kid. My sister and I loved being driven around in it, despite having to squeeze into the ridiculously small back seats. It sure was the coolest car in the entire neighbourhood!
hahaha thats one amazing memory to have. i have had 2 kids in the back and also smoll women also works.
I just cleaned and washed my beutiful alfa red Alfa 156. Watching this video have me heart palpitations imagining my poor thing running laps at Nurburing.
This car is like a time capsule to the 90's, owner also knows his shit. Sounds amazing too!
Alfa's drive with so much emotion, lovely stuff
It's not the fastest, but wow, it sounds amazing and handles beautifully. Looks like a lot of fun💪
As an owner of a GT 3.2 V6, I can attest that the noise is addictive. I was at my performance garage colleagues as soon as I bought the car to have the exhaust upgraded and the note is incredible. Absolutely crucial to upgrade the diff to a strong limited-slip set-up in any Alfa V6 of the last 25 or so years and stick to the time frames with cam-belts every 6-7 years. I drive mine whenever I don't need to put the kid in the car and it brings a smile to my face every time.
FINALLY! 🏁 Thank you Misha, I've been waiting for some "Arese Violin" on your channel for quite a while now, so this feels like a Christmas Present to me 😍🎄 I have an older Version of the engine (2.5 Liter 12 valve) in my GTV6 (which is getting more and more track goodies every season) and maybe someday you want to try out the old Alfa-Transaxle too 👏🍀❤
THAT GODDAM SOUND THO 😍
I drive a 156 2.5 V6 24v (swap to 3l 24v) "every day" and enjoy every ride. For twenty years! It's so good I had the bodywork restored the year before last and I'm hoping for another twenty :)
Thank you for finally showcasing what that chassis is capable of. The GTV is a superb drive, though it's unfortunate it wasn't rear-wheel drive. Still, it stands as one of the best front-wheel-drive (FWD) chassis ever. Paired with a twin-spark engine boasting around 220bhp, it could outpace many modern FWD counterparts.
The 2.0 twin spark is only 150-155hp. The 3.0 V6 is 220hp. The twinspark will outhandle a V6 any day though! 😎🤘
@@PandaPaul100hp I know, but you can upgrade it to have that sort of power and then it becomes a proper machine.
Oh no wonder. The handling on this car looked wonderful and very driver driven
@@rubenvalente I loved my 2.0 twinny GTV. Awesome car. My dad has it now because I swapped him for his 155. Would love to give a 3.0l a try at some point and add one to the collection! 😎🤘
@@PandaPaul100hp I crashed a 155 2l 16v twin spark from a friend. Cost me 5000 DM. 😅
I really like the look and also the sound of this Alfa GTV. Compared to all the newer cars a really unique (front lights and everything) and beautiful car in my opinion. Thanks to the owner and you (Misha) for this video !!!!
Thank you so much for watching. i love it so much
@@916DegreesNorth I wish you, always a safe and good drive (and much fun) with your Alfa GTV. I would say, keep this car. I really don't saw this Alfa GTV in the last years here in Germany on the street. It is a shame
That’s a few times I’ve watched it, although this time I paid more attention to misha and owner. Misha, you were happy in this. Not a fast car but emotional and the owners face after the jump when you dropped down a gear. Pure pride for his car. That’s what we all strive to achieve from our cars
I love that Busso V6 sounds amazing and have great power to back it up, surprisingly compact too!
I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge Misha Charoudin's exceptional driving skills - you really did a great service in showing that despite being a front wheel drive car, with a good tune, a trick diff and tyres this car can still hang with a lot of modern cars today 👍 👍 And yes... I do myself own a GTV V6😃
Very nice (tuned) car, and very original/unique! Love it! Owner seems like a smart and calm person, happy driving to you!
I remember this Alfa Romeo when I was a kid, they really looked like a Ferrari to us children
Its actually built on a shortened Type 4 chassis, shared with the 164, and shares its indicator stalks with the bigger car .... that track is what makes it so great for cornering. I've got one of the very last Busso's - a 2005 RHD 2.5 V6 24 Valve in a manual 156.
Great sounding engine. Looked like you both really enjoyed that lap.
we sure did 😁
Holy!😮 That sounds better than most of the old school Ferraris and certainly better than new ones, what a gem! 😃
No surprise really when you consider Giuseppe Busso was once technical director at Ferrari
Alfa motors from Arese, one love! One of the best looking and sounding V6 of all times. Reliqium of the golden motorsport times of Alfa and Lancia.
had a 164 V6 12V and a 164 V6 24V Q4 back then. Loved both of them. Glad to see, that there is someone putting so much love in an Alfa. As he said, there are absolutly no parts out of the shelf. This GTV is crazy! More underrated, almost forgotten cars please!
People tease Alfa for being unreliable but this car put in a solid lap without a problem which is a lot better than some of these modded cars lately which throw faults and limp modes. Beautiful machine.
They are really reliable. The 1.9 16 JTDm seen in the 147/156/GT has a factory installed oil cooler which is something missing on the new type R that lets its oil overheat but apparently Hondas are really reliable 🥴
@@michelangeloboldri9893Hondas are some of the most reliable cars made, particularly from the 90’s and 2000’s. To try and compare Alfa reliability to Honda is an absolute farce. Coming from a mechanic with 30 years experience.
@@izzy031096a farce is to go on with a stereotype instead of actually owning one… Especially with what was written in the magazines about the 156 and what do actual owners have to say about them. As someone who lives for more than 5 years with a 156 - the JTDs are the strongest diesels out there, with many modded to way over 300 hp and some to 450… The car takes corners better than the Honda, it sounds better, unlike the Honda it doesn’t take any oil and even more unlike a brand new “sporty” type R, it doesn’t let the oil overheat from the factory. The car is nearing 300 000 kms and just had its first real fault since I’ve got it ( gear linkage failure). I’d never get a Honda over it, why would I? Not to go on the dubious styling… Urgh.
@@izzy031096 .....then you have wasted 30 years of your life.
I had a 64 ts as daily beat the crap out of it, and a v6 sport, never an issue
That sound is just so unreal AWESOME
great car, great driver, great owner - one of the best videos -love it
Thank you so much! 😍
Jeremy Clarkson citation: " every man should own an Alfa in his life" I'm so agree! If the best sounding Alfa v6 for me is the 2.5l, this one sound better than almost all 6cylinders engine on earth Love it ❤
The m112 Mercedes V6 sounds better, my 90 degree v6 with a balance shaft is so smooth it has an aluminum zing like the inline 6. The 90 degree v6 has better weight distribution in a RWD car and with rocker arms it revs better than the dohc motor. A Mercedes 2.4 m112.911 sounds better than this or anything other v6
@@enhancementtank5876 I've said almost for that. Some prefer other than the 2.5l Alfa. They are wrong 😁 but I respect their choice But I have to assume the Mercedes you present sound very nice for sure 😃
@@enhancementtank5876Any merc straight six sounds just as good if not better. M103 & M104 are brilliant engines
You listened to me and others hounding for start up clips!!❤sounds effing amazing man what a nice car this is props to the owner
Busso v6 never fails to impress. This car in 98 was a Rocket still beating most of the modern cars
What an engine bay 😍
I can't think of a better one for a front engine car. The chrome pipes are epic!
What a cool owner! It is so nice when people love their cars so much, they know all the stories on development, production and whatever else. It may be not the quickest vehicle, but definitely a lovely car to spot anywhere and capable rising eyebrows for any petrolhead.
Busso engine...the Violin of Arese. It's a masterpiece, the best sounding V6 and the engine bay of this beauty is a worthy place for it. Thanks for the lap, congrats for the car!
I have the 2l v6 turbo version of this car. I totally enjoyed myself. Thanks for keeping the legend alive my friend. Great car and of course great driving. Keep loving in and taking care of it and she will never let you down.
that custom exhaust... money well spent, great to see such love from the owner
14:20 Clutch Pedal: "Got em"
The car sounds absolutely incredible. I swear if you'd put me next to a 90/80's Ferrari I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a V6 and a V12. I think this might be the best sounding car of the year Misha ever drove, if not the best sounding car ive seen on the channel.
What a great sounding engine! I got goosebumps on that first acceleration and was smiling all throughout the lap. Thanks for making this video and thanks to the owner for bringing his car for you to drive.
V6 busso sounds insane
Busso and wizard single back box sounds awesome on these. As front end heavy as they are, with the Q2 diff out the 147gta, still very much point and squirt!
The emotion, tires squealing, beautiful engine sounds- the whole package. Really hit a chord in me.
Absolutely stunning sound
Omg this sound… around 6000 like a v12 ferrari. Amazing❤
So great to see someone putting some time and attention into an old Alfa, AND clearly with the intention of actually using it!
V6 Busso at its finest within one of the most beautiful Alfa in my opinion… pure poetry! Thanks Misha to let us enjoy the sound of the 3.2 V6 24V very rare and precious experience indeed
This was great! Love the end of the year uploads! 👊🏻
The bloody sound, just insane!!!! So sweet and musical. I think the clutch …maybe it has the clutch damper found in the 164QV causing it to sticking or maybe the clutch slave is bad. And the gearbox maybe the stock GTV, good for cruising but probably needs the 156 V6 gearbox.
has new slave and master for brakes and clutch. might be the damper or clutch spring perhaps.. im not sure. and yes it does need the 156 gearbox. it can hit 304km/h with this gearbox if you had the power to do so.
I also experience this clutch delay, maybe the lighter flywheel makes this happen? Very loud exhaust, for daily I would recommend little damper at the end. It's about the exhaust note, not the volume But that's my opinion coming from 166 driver, a less sportscar
@@niteshmatai8923 no I think it’s a hydraulic problem. It’s either a bad slave, master or you have the clutch damper in your car. The damper is known to slow the clutch return.
@@155stw I had a leaking clutch pedal in the past then the pedal itself wouldn't come fully up, This sticking most of the time only happens with up shifts, downshifts no problem, look how smooth at 13:15
@@916DegreesNorth could be the flexible clutch hose. (if not already changed) The inner diameter becomes smaller and smaller over the yeas.
This is one of the car sounds that I would always describe as 'Audio Gold' 😵🔥
Busso power 😊 For anyone asking, this engine is called a Busso V6, it's a range of Alfa Romeo engines started in the 70s (by an ingeneer called Guisepe Busso), very well known for it's specific PURE sound, as long with great agility.
Forza Alfa!!!Still waiting for the red veloce....
That V6 sound is absolutely Amazing! Lovely Car.
Thank you so much
Love the exhaust note! Thank you for sharing this 1980's gem.
I was scared shitless too mate, I kept thinking how I'd feel watching my car get thrashed like never before. 🤣🤣 That was really edge of my seat stuff. Excellent 👍
misha slowly falling in love with alfa's. This brand is something else
Yea, its the brand with the biggest potential to disappoint, they have the highest highs and lowest lows, you just have to know what to search and not risk with new, unproven stuff.
@@frog382 they could bring out crap for the next 50 years and the enthusiasts will still support the brand
@@frog382they are really reliable, completely against what is said about them. The 147/156/GT 1.9 16v had a factory oil cooler which somehow is missing on the newest type R but “Hondas are reliable”
@@michelangeloboldri9893 I remember also Alfa 33 was an excellent car.
I love the Busso! It is torqy from 1000 rpm, pulls like a locomotive, and them really comes to life at 4000 and pulls like crazy to redline 😍 Geez I miss mine when I see vids like this! And the 916 GTV is very cool! Excellent car & video!
what a sound!! An Italian orchestra is performing bravely under the bonnet!
You're a brave man. I had a GTV V6 for a few years and loved it. Proteo Red with tan interior.
JUST PURE EXOTIC SOUNDING V6🎯🎯🎯👌🏾‼️
Ahh the busso noices.. am I in heaven?!
that sound!! amazing - looks like the front end had quite a lot of grip! super nice
I really enjoyed watching misha drive this car . I believe it will give you more enjoyment than an R8 or a gt3 rs
R8 maybe, gt3rs no way
Hell of a sound for a 6. Way better than most v6 I've heard
Full exhaust probably helps with that
V6
@MrB590 not sure how I got that off, corrections were made, either way, point holds true, absolutely beautiful note.
@dielaughing73 there's that but also it's firing order gives a very pronounced sound.
the man who designed the busso engine was the first ever technical director for ferrari after the 2nd world war. so it has real italien roots. Colombo and Busso switched places and colombo went on to make the iconic ferrari v12s and Busso went to alfa to make the Nord Alu Twin Cam engines and the Busso V6. The engine itself does not sound very much oem. the distinct high pitch sound from my engine comes from the Equal length downpipes which merges the two banks togeather at the same time making it sound closer to a v12 then a typical v6
That engine looks beautiful 👌
Wow ! Awesome, Epic sound, fabulous beautiful car, and engine. Also an awesome drive and multiple overtakes. One of Mishas best ever videos.
Love the exterior start up ! Thanks Misha
I rarely comment but this was epic! Love for the busso engine and setup in general!
That was a great sounding drive around the track. Had me pushing for the brake pedal, and I'm sitting on my couch. 😂✌️
Wow, you were absolutely flying. Amazing sounding car. I used to a 2.0 Twin Spark (red with tan leather, 17" teledials) which sounded nice, but nothing compares to the Busso engine. Thanks for sharing.
Misha no words for you buddy,one of the best divers Ive seen! But the owner fill my heart,he was laughing like a child with so natural emotions! Max respect to all three of you!!!
I love it!!! The noise is one of the best to my ears. The handling looked brilliant, super agile ❤❤ Bravo
Thank you so much. I love her too
Why anyone would want an electric car when you can have the sound of a busso engine in your ears ❤
Absolute masterpiece of a car. The 147/156/GT also had passive rear steering which is fun - if you go slow the car doesn’t really corner. If you go fast it does so awesomely. Love to see another Alfa video.
Misha, you drive with style and with such a relaxed attitude, good to see such an accomplished drive around a great track in a great sounding car. I liked the diagnoses of the car at the end, areas where it could be improved but without being to critical. The Passenger on the other hand looked a bit nervous, probably didn't know his car was so fast. Great video.
Nice car, awesome sound. Can't believe you've waited until after the season to upload this one!
It's amazing, it sounds like a 296 GTB!
It’s nice to see that he is being gentle to the clutch and gearbox. Bravo! 👏
I was definitely along for the ride with this one. Wonderful car! Great driving as always. Thank you for sharing
Wow what a piece of art. Props to you! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for watching. It was fun and scarey
What a gorgeous car. Everything is beautifully done. The tuning and restoration is impressive. Aesthetically it belongs in a museum, emotionally it belongs on a track! 😁 Almost unbelievable that it's daily driven (but at least it's enjoyed to it's fullest👍) It sounds awesome and the busso engine is one of the best looking engines of all times with the chrome intake pipes etc. Crazy fast drive too when comparing it to the other cars on track. Awesome to see the owner being completely flabbergasted by Misha's skills😂 This car or it's successor the GT are cars I'd love to own. For sure this was one of Misha's best video's, I really enjoyed this one.
Congratulations for this targeted and personalized tuning of this 1990s Alfa Romeo, powered by the enhanced V6 3.2 24 valves. Furthermore, looking at the video, I give other compliments to the guy who drives the car at the Nürburgring. He uses the pedals with a lot of practice and simplicity, especially when performing the toe maneuver heel while driving. He drives decisively, carefully and very cleanly on the track, especially in high-speed corners and in overtaking carried out near bends and in the presence of other cars. The thing I would like to know would be to know the changes made to the car, such as the set-up, and the upgrades made to the engine, like the type of supercharging adopted and everything else. Thank you

Nice driving skills. You definitely can see he's not going over the top in max speed, but he knows what he's doing while knowing the limits of the car.
that engine/exhaust combo sounds incredible
beautiful car, beautiful sound. loving all the alfa content at the moment - you should try get a 155 maybe or a 164 QV but they are very rare so might be difficult. 90s alfas were the best - this looked like it handed really well
Misha's driving, the balance and handling of the chassis, and of course: that sound. What an epic video. And what a car.
That was a dramatic lap! Very exciting to watch and listen-to. Fantastic.
It's difficult to keep the Busso V6 howl with open exhausts, but you've done it! I really miss my 156 2.5 V6 sometimes.
Misha's genuine happiness made me smile from ear to ear.
Thank you for the video, it was enjoyable. hope to see a rear-wheel drive 80s Alfa Romeo Alfetta (saloon or GTV). i owned a tuned 2.0 saloon Alfetta in the 90s). The connection between driver, car, road, and the handling... it was something! (power slides in second gear low to mid rpm, was a a joy)
I have the 3.2 swapped in a 156 with the 2.5 gearbox, the gtv needs the 2.5 gearbox ratios, 3.2 with short gearbox is insane, 3.0 ratios from CF2 GTV are the longest I really love the fpel sound on, should make one for mine, sound like a baby colombo v12❤
