Punto GT Vs 172/182

If the Punto GT was tuned to say 170bhp? Being a turbo they do have more torque but my bet is still on the 172/182

I know that with 170bhp they hardly break into the 14s down the strip. What will a 172 do?

Not trying to start an arguement but the Punto boys are saying there usualy equal or quicker. Also that they beat CTRs?! :confused:

Someone on there seems to know Yoz too?

theyre lighter arent they ? in theory with the same power in a straight line they should be quicker. They dont handle at all though.

I just watched the video and thought what knobs they were racing down that road.

I dont care if you can make a Punto GT faster than a 182 (Im sure a standard GT wouldnt stand a chance though), Id still rather have my car any day! I hate Puntos.

But youd need a wheel barrow behind to pick up all the bits that will have fallen off the punto and a crash helmet for when one of the pistons ejects itself from the engine bay running that kind of boost. That cars an s reg punto 1.4 and its being compared to a 182? If I was at the lights I wouldnt waste the petrol.

Well speaking from experience Ive absolutely wasted every Punto turbo ive come across in my Valver.

Last one I raced was down the local bypass, and its chipped, boosted and has a IK & exhaust. I was tootling along at 60mph and he overtook me, I chased after him, overtook him and then he blew the headgasket trying to keep up lol.

See ya

oh dear lol... whats amusing is that to keep up the punto needs a Seb thing upgrade... as long as they realise that they may also meet a tuned Clio...

like tom20v sed they all seem to be chavs, most chavs seem to think that an air filter ads 30BHP to a car lol!!!

all these people with problems with fiats, if you build them properly in the 1st place they will last

i had a 180-200bhp uno turbo, threw thousands at it, run 13 second quarters and did actually handle (coilovers, front and rear upper and lower braces and a cage) more worrying is the thing never once broke down on me, not one mechanical issue and only ever had to replace servicable parts

traction is the main reason you dont see many 170bhp puntos running low 14s, as lets be honest, a car as light as that at the front, its always going to be difficult to launch it

once rolling, id say the torque from the punto would see it through the gears a little (not much) quicker than the clio, top end, id put my money on the clio if it had an extra 30 miles to race on, top speed will be higher, just take a lot longer to get there

I drove my friends and his is 170 bhp.. and fcuk did it feel quick. but the turbo makes it feel quicker than it actually is...?... Im going to have to arrange this little race and find out for myself.

just to clear up

iv owned a fair few fast cars

my punto gt was around 170/175 bhp with the seb map and other mods

it was faster than my mk1 172 which had a full system/bmc

and was faster than my 200bhp ibiza 20vt!

i loved my gt, regretted selling it, suprised loads of cars

had a civic on acceration aswell only upto 70 ish as we had to slow down!

puntos are sh*t cars but GTs are good fun

i was lucky enough to get one that had done 30k and had one owner in 5 years and came with all the history!

twin dump valves rocked aswell!

one of the rude boys around here had one, supposed to be 170 bhp and when he had a play with me i was sat behind him with plenty more to go in a standardish valver when he pulled over asked me it it was turbod as his car was "really fast" in his words lol
