Questions from a novice
I'm looking to buy a 156.
Can someone please tell me what JTS stands for ? Also, what's the difference between Lusso & Veloce & Turismo. TIA Ash |

Cheers Mark.
One last question , would you say JTS is generally more desirable than TS ?

Keep in mind that the JTS engine is a "normal" 4 spark plug engine and not a
8 plug like the TS (=Twin Spark) Both cylinder blocks are the same, the cylinder heads are different. Both are 16V(alve) -- Ciao from Holland AlfistaGJ (Gert-Jan) Alfa red 156 SW 1.8 Madeno tuned (2000) Golden Montreal (1973/4) "Ash" > schreef in bericht news:C74uc.14$Q3.7@newsfe3-gui... > Cheers Mark. > > One last question , would you say JTS is generally more desirable than TS ? > > > "MarkK" > wrote in message > ... > > "Ash" > wrote in message > news:do3uc.9$Q3.5@newsfe3-gui... > > > I'm looking to buy a 156. > > > > > > Can someone please tell me what JTS stands for ? > > > > Jet Thrust Stoichiometric.
