haha u selling alfa parts of course u choose alfa mr.tuah
but i will go with the italia bella as well :P

going up, alfa reach first (with small gap). if going down, the alfa will disappear behind the neo. just my opinion.

From my experience...if drive alfa hard...de temp will reach and maintain at 90deg,if drive slow and steady..de temp will maintain at 70-80 deg.same to my other conti car also.

if U drive alfa...you'll be too busy trying to persuade it to go round a corner. ...

There is a saying quoted "You are not considered true petrolhead until you own an Alfa Romeo..."

Yes, Alfa for me please...

 

[zealless]

which one is better in overall performance (power to handling performance)?

Hi, well a lot of people will compare power to weight ratio, but i do not agree with this statement.
Depends on you application, if you say which will get to genting first, i will say Alfa.
My advise is always look on power, the weight and also not to neglect is "Torque"

If you say track, probably Neo, i am not sure, because you need to compare the balance of power and torque, the weight, gear ratio, breaks and etc... maybe alfa can win too ....

Once Alfa,never look back....

Alfa Romeo...power of twim sparks.

Alfa goes faster up the hill, and down straight to workshop.

 

[teo1957]

wah.. THAT easy to overheat ar?

Not overheat bro, but fluctuates.

It's like your stock temp meter, and your Defi temp meter.

Stock = start, move up, up, up, then stick to the middle. Like not moving at all.

Defi = Moving 80, jam 88, then fan switched on back to 80 again...

Another thing is, lack of fan. Malaysia very hot country, I think need one fan for radiator, one for condenser. Cannot share. Like Gen2, if in jam, like aircond going hotter and hotter. Temp okay, but aircond hot.

Yep...keep the tow number handy, just in case.

Speaking from experience or someone you know with crappily maintained Alfa? Just hate it when people just freely quote things as the world is a free place. I have had 4 Alfas ran them hard, maintained them well and didnt bite my back off compared to my other Contis like Volvos. They are definitely little more expensive to maintain than japs or malaysian cars. But never broke on me ever...each had abt 200k kms ++ when sold exception one. The ownership/camaderie experience was great. I also own now a R3 so I can say I can be fair in my assesment.

The 147 2.0 cant compare to a Neo 1.6 in straight line la...so much power diff and need be fair to the Neo.unless you talking 1.6 Alfa that I get a gut feel Neo will tapau.In corners the CPS handles very well and pretty rorty.
147 2.0 with the Seles has advantage of better blipping and control of gears and top end power will easily out run the std CPS at the twisties as driver struggles with the shifts and balance.

But as it probably matched in handling and would say probably a modded CPS pushing abt 150hp with a good driver will run the 147 even steven if you can put up with the engine rpms.
But owning an Alfa just isnt abt comparos like this right?

Your wife or GF will appreciate more if you drive and Alfa. Sometimes it's not what you like but what car that can carry the bickering toot without any fuss. Every lady loves a comfortable car so with an alfa you get the best of both worlds.
