Alfa sales lit put a US 2.5 at 154hp Reeves Calloway in his article guessed/recalled they dynoed at ~ 120 hp. who knows what they really make. even more so for the montreal engine. In any case, you'd think the Montreal powered unit would be significantly faster. to be honest, always thought the same for the Montreal. however in talking to people who own/ed them, no one ever seemed to be bowled over by the acceleration.
maybe in this case the alfetta clutch couldn't handle the V8s torque.
