The irony being that the 3200 is still much more likely to spit you into a ditch if you disrespect it! Even with 130bhp less.

More torque though. That's what really matters on the road.

Ah - you must have meant less than the Alpha. Different story that. I initially assumed that this was a continuation of the 3.2 vs 4.2/4.7 jibes that run through a lot of threads. I'll now go and flush my head in the toilet in penance. Steve.

No worries, yes 362lbft vs 440lbft, in cars that weigh a very similar amount, perhaps the alfa less.

The 3200 seems to deliver all that torque in one concentrated hit though, feels more

For sale

Why! Giulia ain't that good!!!!

Ah, thought this might crop up

A number of reasons really.

Most of all that I now have the Quadrifoglio as a daily car and it's just so epic to drive that it for me gives me my powerful Italian car hit. It also sounds great now the exhaust is sorted. £60k is not small change to get into the alfa either.

I also have the 66 Giulia for my classic hit too.

There is also a bit of a pattern with cars for me, I try and buy a good one and then spend thousands making it better and doing preventative stuff, then I end up selling, when I should really keep it because the hard work is done.

I want to own lot's of different cars and experience different things, and I really enjoy working on them and geeking out over the details. I'm proud to say I've owned a Maserati, and enjoyed it.

Also, I've never owned a drop top, so tempted to try one out.

Good luck Gus!

Thanks

This is the only other one I can find for sale in the UK, low miles but they are asking £45k.

Nice, but too much lack of use is really not good for these cars.

No prizes for guessing what's wrong with the one way return valve. All of the others were OK.

where did you find new valve from? Mine has same issue with missing rubber...

Maserati... Directly from a dealer, not dear.

Did this valve affect on running or behaviour in some way?

Hard to say, perhaps with brake booster vacuum or some such thing, it was only about £7 or something from memory.

I haven't got the diagram infront of me so can't remember exactly where it went...

What are you going to do with your lovely TS engined Sprint GT Gus, stick it on a Q plate? as it won't conform to the new U Gov MOT testing regs
