No that's not right.  It was a 2.03.8

But seriously, Victor and Mary's GTV6 is road registered and considerably quicker than me, as is Tony Stubbs' supercharged beast.  And I did get beaten by one-tenth by my new racing buddy from NSW in a 4 cylinder GTV (so that'll be the last time I show someone the lines around PI).

I assume you are talking about the P3?

Check this link out.  It is very much an Alfa. ;)

oh no definitely not the P3, I love that! What a fantastic sounding beauty!! I've got a good little "movie" about Ferrari, more of a documentary on Enzo's life, goes into decent detail about the early days inc. his days with Alfa.

And...

Sheldon was running on slicks, which last time I looked weren't legal on the roads.

Yes I have that movie (VHS tape) used for the film classification prior to release 13/8/03. Here's the bit I think you refer to on release of the Alfa P3 built by Enzo's Scuderia Ferrari (this an edited version of my own movie);

;D

John , depending upon your definition of "road registered". But this result could break a few GTV 6 drivers hearts and suprise the rest. But i think that title of fastest road registered V6 went to "the enevlope please" Sheldon MacIntosh in the Alfa 90 with a 2.04

You could get yourself in great trouble with comments like that Paul (no offence to Sheldon)!  For example, I see a 147 GTA with a time of 2:03.7, not to mention a few other faster cars which may not be 100% road legal, but still have numberplates on them....

Sheldon, you could be in trouble on a count back on a few fronts,  a slight matter of 1/10th of a second. Also as i said earlier its all in your definition of "road registered". My definition and case in point was i had a great time at the island on the weekend. Got home Sunday night  to find trouble with the wifey's car so i unbolted the race  seat and have been driving the alfetta around for the last 2 days. It's character building without air conditioning.

I did get the groceries in the 90 today.....

And I'll take .1 of a second behind a 147 GTA anyday BTW.....

I think if you dig out the history books you'll find a pretty standard 2.5 GTV6 (say with some Vin's front bars and a set of Dunlop R's) has done under 2 minutes.

I was looking for something else and came across this thread, and it got me intriqued.

So aggie57, just how "pretty standard" was this GTV6, and who was driving?  Under 2 minutes for a "pretty standard" GTV6 is pretty very very quick.

I'd have to dig back in the record books Sheldon because I'm talking about several years back. Certainly before 2004.

But if I also told you a fully trimmed road-going GTV6 with a 12-valve 3 litre engine did under 2.02 (ok 2.01.99) on road tyres what would you say?
