Greg,

Doesn't the Jetronic system in GTV6s have a wide-open throttle sensor to enrich the charge?

Does your black box replace or supplement that system?

There doesn't seem to be much of a correlation with weight or with handling.

Either the list is inaccurate or chassis rigidity is not as fundamental as generally believed.

Here is the list sorted most-to-least stiff. Those not in Nm/deg were removed.

It would be a great picture if that red car weren't blocking the view of the Alfa!

Hey, my only point was that the lack of a torque tube was not a cost saving measure but a weight saving measure.

Also, no one has given a good reason why the Nissan GT-R does NOT have a torque tube. What do they know that we don't???

the Bean Counters wouldn't spend ten more bucks to fit torque tubes for the original design. Actually, there is no torque tube as a weight saving measure. I have an interview somewhere with an Alfa engineer from the '70s (not Busso) that discusses all the trouble they had with the drive shaft inclu...

This is not related to the [Busso] Alfa Romeo V6 engine, but is instead a derivation of the GM ...

Anyway, go buy another copy: the Greek economy needs all the help it can get.
