it seems small changes realy make a big difference... im talking about engine modification of course.
here are the stats of my mates fiat punto that i absolutely thrashed by several car lengths friday nite...
920kg
1242cc dohc 16v
comp.: 10.6:1
79 bhp@5000 rpm
84 ft-lb@4000 rpm
0-60 mph: 11.4s
top speed: 107 mph
85.9 bhp/ton
compared to a standard lanos 1.3 the fiat punto has the upper hand.
would be quite intresting to get my car on a rolling road and see what the engine is up to at full chat. lol

automatics suck. simple. loldaewoomofo wrote:its an automatic there was a identicle car for sale close to me, but it was a stick. if i had the cash at the time it would have been mine....oh wel
my mothers mercedes is an auto, and evry time i put my foot down too quickly i get an error on the LCD "EPC Failure" aka Engine Power Control failure and it switches to half power which is around 70hp... but i think thats just a problem with the electronics and ecu, but as far as the throttle and gearbox goes theres no feel for how fast you're going... where as with a manual and an old-fashioned cable throttle (ie: Lanos) u can feel when the engine's having its nuts revved off or when its struggling. the lanos talks to me. lol

Have you drove those new astras or, most new cars these days?
Fly-by wire accelerators are so shit like.
Was in my uncles new passat the other day, was wondering why he was sitting on the brake on a hill instead of the handbrake, he said his handbrake didnt work, i asked why, and he said the buttons broke lol. It's a fly by wire handbrake too. Jesus christ like, whats wrong with a good ol' cable?

( don't worry..... I know you guys love this thread for some unknown reason )
