Hochtgeschwindigkeit vs. Topsnelheid [the 158 debate]

<<<Digging a bit further I found a couple of German 164 brochures which
do not
list the cd but do list both Max.Leistung in DIN-PS bei U/min and
Hochtgeschwingigkeit in km/h. The numbers are respectively:

T.Spark: PS 143 bei 5800, 207 km/h
3.0 V6: PS 184 bei 5600 U/min, 227 km/h
3.0 Automatik: PS 184 bei 5600 U/min, 222 km/h
Quadrifoglio: PS 200 bei 5800 U/min, 237 km/h
2.0 V6 Turbo: PS 204 bei 6000 U/min, 237 km/h>>>


As evidence of Alfa=92s ability to round the numbers, I dug up a Belgian
164 sales brochure from 1990/91. The numbers appear as follows:

T Spark  DIN-pk/omw./min. 148/5800 Topsnelheid =93meer dan=94 210 km/u
T Spark KAT  143/5800   Topsnelheid 210 km/u
2.5 TD 117/4200 Topsnelheid 200 km/u
3.0 V6 KAT 184/5600 Topsnelheid 230 km/u [225 km/u Versie met
automatische versnellingsbak]
3.0 V6 AC KAT 184/5600 Topsnelheid 230 km/u [225 km/u Versie met
automatische versnellingsbak]
Quadrifoglio KAT 200/5800 Topsnelheid 237km/u

Of course nothing beats french fries with mayo and a good
versnellingsbak to bump your topsnelheid a bit!

Brochure also pictures the torque curves for the V6, twin spark and 2.5
TD if any are interested.
