feels bad man

>transverse V6

kwolty pos fren

But OP you can buy one with 2 more cylinders in the U.S. and ride in slightly less rattly plastic.

>transverse V anything

this is now a cool engine thread

>Ford
that's a funny way to spell Yamaha

it's not funny at all

Owned two, loved them, chances are I'll own another at some point.

Pretty sure there are 25+ year old Alfas with Busso V6s ready to import, since its first form came out in 1979 and the first DOHC versions were made in 1993

dumbasss

Alfa sold cars in the US until 1995

While we’re on this topic, is there any reason manufacturers making MR or RR vehicles dont tend to use transverse engines?

?

?

theyre not that great and the cars theyre in are ugly pieces of shit

I would rather get the smaller V6 with the turbo.

was the stratos not actually good???

Then why get an Arese V6? The whole point is the noise they make, which gets nerfed by a turbo.

Speak for yourself

It was good for its time and won rallies from the mid 70s into 81 but it was never a powerhouse vehicle

>18 wrc victories
>not a powerhouse

spread over 7 years

and it was going to be around for longer but fiat was jealous and replaced it with the 131

That pic just shows that its possible to polish a turd.

But I'll have to tell you its still a turd.

You're probably better off for it, so just get yourself a proper car that doesn't lack 2 cylinders.

Why even try.

>transverse v6

this does things to my dick

Alfa 164s were sold in the u.s. with that delicious v6.

its too short along the length of the car
problem with dynamic weight distribution and wheel base

To keep rocks out, standard fare on racing cars.

I came.

I want to find an old 164 and swap in a SAAB 9000 Aero drivetrain!

That sucker would make 400 and 400 lb ft all day..

Why not just use the FIAT twincam which already came turbod from the factory? In the 164 the Chroma and the Thema?
