Chaps, if the WRXer doesn't know it's a race, you will administer spankage. The WRX has nothing down low in the rev range. Now if said WRXer is ready, I think you'd need more than 200HP under your 116's bonnet. The torque available once the Subaru (std WRX) gets to ~3,500rpm is incredible. If there ...

10cyl: BMW M5

One passed me y'day on full throttle. I have to say, I was impressed. I thought the only decent sounding BMWs were M3s....I was wrong.

4-cyl: My WRX with its 'proper' exhaust system.
6-cyl: Alfa 2.5 V6. Nissan's VQ engine ain't bad either.
8-cyl: ? Too many to choose from.
12-cyl: A-M Vanquish

x-rad, yours is Nov 85 manufacture? Really surprising it does not have iso linkage.

I thought the Milano changes all came in earlier in the year. We are talking about Alfa though; it might be a bit too much to expect consistency.

Is your cross-member fixed or removable?

I think your Alfa may be Greek.

A Hellenic GTV6.

Do you know if this solution is applicable to a GTV6 with air-conditioning?

They can be harsh, for sure. Thing is though, you're talking about the Watts pivots. A bit different to other suspension pick-up points in terms of vibration transmission. If there's one place you can use poly without compromising comfort, it's here. My '6 has poly on all 5 Watts pivots and on the D...

The Watts part of the Alfa rear suspension provides superior transverse location than '4-link'.

In fact, didn't Ford just update the Crown Vic with a Watts linkage?

Weight-wise, I doubt the Mustang diff and axle gets near the DeDion setup.

Just looking at their 'test', I'd say their device's contribution to the cooler readings was negligible. They also happened to install cooling ducts when testing their gadget....

Hardly comparing like with like.
