Love to hear that a 350Z and a TT got killed by a GTV6. My GTV6 needs new brakes, suspension and motor and since the economic situation here is very bad I have no money to spend on it. Anyway I still enjoy driving it, still sounds better than any car ever made and looks exotic and sexy. As years pas...

My father bought the car in 1991, its an 84 that was modified in 88. It is euro spec since it was imported directly from Italy. The mechanic that did the job in 88 was my father mechanic too since my dad from 88 to 91 owned a blue 79 GT 1.6 and a 81 red GTV 2.0. The car has Autodelta cams, valve spr...

I always wanted a Syclone/Typhone, here in Argentina I saw one only once, it was white, I think its the only one in this country. I used to own a 93 Blazer with the 200hp 4.3 V6. I had a lot of fun at stoplights. From 0 to 70 km/h I beat everything.

Thanks for the advice, I never took in mind oil preasure when cold, anyway I never pass 4000 rpms before the temperature needle is in the middle. My GTV6 has autodelta cams so driving it under 3000 is not an option since it has no power. Other thing I learned only a few years ago is to not rev the e...

In the 80s when comparison tests were done between the GTV6 and the other GTs, a lot of things were evaluated, like fuel economy, back seats comfort, etc. The GTV6 lost in this subjects against its competition. Today when comparing classic GTs the most important things are style, performance and dri...

Are you saying 1200 UK pounds or 1200 euro?

Is anybody using Koni sport shocks and springs that Performatek sells?

Yeah, but theres some material in english, check magazines pdfs, there are almost all the road test made by magazines from all over the world. A lot of comparisons with Capris, 924s, 280Zs, even a late 80s where there´s a road test against 300ZX turbo, Corvette, 944 turbo and Jag XJ-S V12.

What I mean is that the referees and lineman are imparcial, the same that happened in the football World Cup last year and always. The same that happened in the 1995 semis when the Boks defeated France and in the final game against New Zeland too. Now I hope Argentina and South Africa to be a great ...

Shame on IRB, what they allowed to happen today is very sad. I didnt thought that such a thing could happen in a RWC, it seems that profesional sports are nothing else than a big bussiness. It brings me back to 1995 when the IRB fixed the cup for South Africa.

Yes 241 real speed is not bad, problably most cars that show on the speedo meter 250-255 are really going about 240, but still I think that with that kind of power you could get a higher top speed. Anyway you beat almost anything in the street to 240 so there`s no need on losing accelerating for a h...

241, thats not much for a 300hp car. Did you hit the rev limiter in fifth? Is the gearbox too short for that 3.6? My GTV6 shows at the speedo meter 220Km/h at 6500rpm. It has the std 12v 2.5 with the Autodelta cams and a custom exaust. Stock air intake, stock gearbox-diff. and 205/55vr15 Pirellis al...

Hey Fernando did you tested your car top speed?
