Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / March 2005YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally got my GT 2.0JTS today. Colour changed during the 7 months wait (!) but I must say, Rosso Radicofani (a new metallic red) suits the car perfectly. All the curves shine like an angel in the blue sky! Natural leather, 18" GTA rims with 225/40 Michelins and the Bose sound system to finish it off. Even my wife loves the car (for the first time in 25 years that she shows "car emotions"!!)

Fantastic!! Welcome to the (at least in the NW UK) "exclusive" club!! :-)) I love my JTD to bits....so does the GF!..... I do miss the V6 though! The car I have is perfect!....except the slightly dissapointing level of road noise.... but I can forgive that! More people ask me about the GT than ANY other car, be it Alfa or otherwise, that I have ever owned! Enjoy!! SignatureIvan.

I'm still waiting for my JTD after 6 months!

Well, IMHO the Bose system is worth while the wait. Sound quality is superb and I may consider my self an expert on this area. Used to sell professional sound systems and (since 1986) the proud owner of Bose 901 Series II sound boxes in my home. Recently added a Bose surround movie system. The in-car system is absolutely without distortion up to max power, the only thing you could say is that the total power output is low for some hard rock and house (and whatever music is "in" today) lovers. And compared to many (car) systems, the system lacka i.e. an equalizer, but that will always be a discussion between the different sound lovers. For me, any equalizer is only put in to eliminate distortions in the system. You have to listen to the sound as it has been recorded and not as you want it to sound!! So for me, at highest output, the sound pressure is quite sufficient, but it won't blast your windows out.

On this we will have to agree to differ.

I probably don;t want to hear your music and vice versa.

VW / Audi, I think they were the people who _really_ cracked proper quality in-car audio with the launch of the 'B5' platform (A4 / A6 / Passat) back in about 1995.

Congratulations! A 7 months wait ... exact the same as my GT JTD, but we all know it's worth it :-) A couple of weeks ago I saw the new colour at my dealers, it looks much better in real then on the pictures. I really hated it when AR didn't make the "old" red metallic ... Rosso Proteo (or something like that), since I perhaps wanted the GT in that colour. So we went for a black metallic (http://users.skynet.be/catscratch/GT/), which is nice but gets dirty really fast. Even your wife loves the car? My (future) wife persuid me to buy the GT :-) F. > -- > Ciao from Holland > AlfistaGJ (Gert-Jan) > Rosso Radicofani GT 2.0JTS > Golden Montreal 1428700 (1973/4) Your black GT is really breathtaking !!!
