    Punto GT vs GT TDI/ Starlet turbo

    what would the outcome be if a punto gt seb2 went up against a gt tdi 150hp.

    also the outcome if it came up against a starlet turbo running approx 160bhp

    if a Punto went up against a GT TDi150 then there'd be a some bad paint damage and bodywork needed.

    PSC doesnt allow the talk of street racing, so keep it sweet or it'll be deleted Chief, Cool?!

    In my experience a 160bhp Starlet would have a SEB2 and the Golf, starlets are very light, lighter than GT's and on the 1/4 mile at least they get some very impressive times with not alot of mod's.

    I was talking to a lad in the camp next to ours last year at USC, he was making 205bhp and was running low-mid 13's on the strip.

    need some honest answers here. some of the new diesels iv drove are quiet powerfull, with the turbo kicking in early. so it could take a punto gt off the line. im guessing the punto would be ahead upto 100, as the diesels seem to have a better top end

    all of this on private tracks offcourse

    I tried to find some specs of the cars but not many English sites had them.

    How much do they weigh?

    A SEB2 Punto GT will have ITRO 170bhp/tonne. so providing it can get traction, you would think it would be quicker.
