    to be honest my friend has a starlet and there so much more you can do compared to puntos, i hate to admit it to him but you compare puntos with starlets u think what the f**k was the italians thinking wires and pipes everywear just a mess lol.

    with the starlet its 1.3 small pistons but bigger strokes the popular mod is to get a 1.5 bottom end you have to notch the bottom of the bores. other wise con rods hit it lol.

    i went in it the other day and its insaine i cant explain but all i felt was stomach go big blur and shitting it got out and legs was all over the place.

    No the problem is, people in this country dont tune Fiats like they do in Europe.

    The difference with JDM cars, is when they get tuned, the parts filter through a popular aftermarket. With Fiats they dont.

    You can just slot a 1.6 bottom end in to a GT. You can bolt a 1.6 16v engine straight in, perfect fit, and turbo it... People are ONLY just widely fitting coupe engines.

    Was gonna say exactly the same as dan. GT's are no less tunable than any of it's rivals. Just less off the shelf bolt on parts available

    Here is when an Evo plays the same trick as that Glanza, except the other car has 750hp...

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O17x_XuXwzo"]YouTube - Audi RS6 Evotech 750hp vs Lancer EVO6 600hp[/ame]

    Fooking awsome +10'10xbillion.


    RS6 cheats like wano in the last race too lol.

    I sense somebody is now beginning to tie themselves up in knots over this.
    the RS6 video showed the weight of the evolution at 900kg at the start of the film but not the audis weight. Hmmm. so basically the evo has no interior then or a spare wheel etc. plus apart from the driver we dont know how many others he was carting around. It is possible it has lightened components too to get down to that weight.

    i only know the Evo Sprint (version 4 or 5?) was extremely light from the factory yet the audi weighs 2025 kilos. over 2 tons to shift plus 2 on board that we could see. The evo has around 66bhp per 100kgs. the RS6? A mere 37bhp per 100kgs. lets not even get into torque figures.

    a chocolate watch for the person who correctly guessed the outcome.
    You cant really be objective when you drive the type of car being brought into question. I dont drive a Glanza so i can say what i like without being ever accused of being biased to the marque.

    No Evo weighs 900kilo. The lightest Evo on the MLR is a 6 and it's still 1050kilo and full carbon clad race car. That Evo is still at least ~1400...

    It's abit of entertainment, two tuned cars, not one tuned and one not.
