Er wird dieses Jahr seinen Wohnsitz von Südafrika nach Griechenland verlegen. Dabei wird sein GTA zu Autodelta UK gestellt, um ihn von einem Rechts- zum Linkslenker umzubauen. Dabei werden auch noch weitere Modifikationen am Motor durchgeführt, mit denen der GTA dann in etwa 550 PS haben dürfte.Hi!
Unfortunately my German is not to good but I found your website interesting. I work in Saudi Arabia but home is South Africa & I own a 147GTA, I had a 156GTA previously. I think you might find my car interesting & it was recently featured in MaxPower SA. No this is not a car that has been spoiled by ugly aftermarket body kits & the like however I am very good friends with two of the worlds foremost Alfa tuners, Dawie De Villiers of Glenwood Motors in South Africa whom I have known since my late teens (a friend of my father’s) & Jano Dedajan (managing Director of Autodelta). Being a Greek & living in SA, well Dawie is South African & Jano is a Greek.
Let me tell you a little about the car. It’s a very late model 2005 & registered in SA in January 2006. The car is blue with a 2 tone leather interior, tan on black. The exterior is standard GTA bar the OZ/Autodelta 8X19” Ultralegerras, fitted with 225/35ZRX19” Pirelli PZero Corsa’s. Now that’s a hint to the rest as Dawie is the Wildman globally when it comes to Alfa’s & here we use a combination of Autodelta & touring car parts to complete the car:
Engine - First step of tuning
1).3.7L Autodelta Stroker kit but with upgraded pistons, Ross forged race type & Pauter Machine forged conrods, all blueprinted & balanced & the compression ratio increased to 11:1.
2).Gas flowed & blueprinted cylinder heads fitted with Newman Racing Cams big valves, 304 degree Newman Racing Cams & solid lifters.
3).Autodelta/Ferrari 360 throttle body & Autodelta Carbon Intake System.
4).Group N exhaust & branches by Dawie De Villiers with Autodelta tailpipes.
5).Autodelta modified ECU with 8000rpm limiter, map to suit throttle body & camshafts plus a Unichip piggy back unit to enable fine tuning fitted by Dawie De Villiers & Dastek.
Transmission
Standard GTA fitted with Gemini LSD & Competition clutch assembly
Suspension
1).Autodelta Sport Corse adjustable shocks (height, dampening, rebound)
2).Autodelta control arms(upgraded)
3).Eibach roll bars
Brakes
GTA 330mm with Xdrilled Autodelta discs all round, up rated brake pads & stainless steel braided lines
355mm, 8XPiston Praggia (the units used on the GTA 3.2 Production Race Cars in South Africa). Race pads are fitted as are Autodelta braided SS lines, Autodelta Xdrilled rear discs are used.
Wheels
Autodelta/OZ Racing Ultraleggerra 8X19” fitted with 225/35ZRX19” Pirelli PZero Corse
All work carried out by Dawie De Villiers of Glenwood Motors
Power=280kW@7400rpm (<- 381 Porno PS!!!
Torque=415Nm@5000rpm
0-100km/h=4.8secs
Vmax=294km/h
*All tested by GPS & Verimax computer in SA by test authority
Believe it or not, the car is set-up on 93RON fuel unleaded (it losses some hp but it’s safer, 15hp at the wheels to be accurate), pulls from idle in 6th-cleanly, revs like an F1 car all the way to 8000rpm in every gear, is not noisy, the Group N silencer meets all emissions, makes 115hp more at the wheels than a standard car. In fact at 4000rpm it has the standard car beat. Torque is above 300Nm at the wheels from 1600rpm & never drops below this figure until 7200rpm.
I have covered 10000km in this car & it’s been the drive of my life & I have owned M3 CSL’s……………..etc.
This is what the GTAm would & should have been. I beat a CSL hands down in this car, a V8 M5 anywhere, a 355 Ferrari, RS4’s, it’s an amazing little car. I also won the SA Alfa Club concourse with this car, outright. I maintain it impeccably.
I have kept the cars character & added 100kW & 110Nm to the mix & it takes it in it’s stride.
Now we are building another 3.7L stroker motor but with standard camshafts & decompressed to 9:1. Jano from Autodelta will come to SA & him & Dawie De Villiers will fit the Autodelta Supercharger kit but running at 1bar instead of the usual 0.5bar (special order). This will produce around 520-540hp & 600Nm
FORZA GTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao, John
Hier noch PDF-Files mit dem Artikel zu seinem GTA:

Meiner Meinung nach ein mehr als hammerhart pornomässiger GTA! So wie er eigentlich ab Werk hätte rauskommen sollen!!!...
