Oh, shit....a super sleeper.
I use to love those cars and they can be damn fast to. Back in the day there was a local guy that had one running in the low 12's, stealing money from idiots at the street races that didn't know.
COOL BUY!

I wanna know how you lot get such low times. We've got Fiats over here with 1.4 8v Turbo engines.

Otherwise, Puntos, running a similar engine can only get a low 14 high 13, fully stripped, 15"s running 200+bhp (136bhp standard).
How the hell do you lot get such quick times>?

Mind you, the cars fully loaded. If i were to take off all the kit, put some 15"s, strip it etc, a 14.4 would be possible. TB would see it into the 13's. Thats NA though, no turbo, or nitrous etc. Nitrous is still fairly rare over here. A lot of people dont like it because its only good for short sharp sprints, and we like our track days over here hence its not really of much use. It is becoming more comen though.This car recently done a 13.1 using the TP208 kit (around 208bhp) on a 2.0 16v and 50bhp Nitrous jets. Considering the "standard" cars best off the line production engine is a 1.6 16v, (106bhp, 0-60 in 9.5, 119mph), its a fair old improvement.
They've even dropped the engine a few inches lower (Conversion kit means it sits higher, see my post in pictures section).
