Re: Re: [alfa] V6 Alfetta sedan for sale

Dean, horses for courses, or in this case horsepower.  Sure the bigger
engine will be able to produce more power but you tend to move into the
larger capacity classes.  I don't know what type of competition you intend
entering but a hot 2L with 200HP may have a better chance in it's class than
a 400HP 3L.
