1.2 (carb) nova vs a fiat punto 1.2sx

[turbojolt]

will my brothers 1.2sx punto be faster then this nova I'm looking at buying don't think i could deal with all the gloating from the lilitle **** lol

[Jack]

Dunno, best race it to find out y0

8v or 16v?

[turbojolt]

he has a 1.2 8v 60sx

how much dose a 1.2 nova weigh as the punto weighs 865kgs

[Leeboo]

I reckon the Nova would just have it. The Nova is about 55 bhp from the factory, the Punto can't be any more than that, plus its heavier.:thumb:

[turbojolt]

yer the punto is supposed to have 59-to-60 hp apparently from manufacture ergo its name 60sx

i hope it is quicker when i get one over wise i would never hear the end of it

and i may have to hurt him lol

[Rich]

Down to better driver, you should have the edge

[turbojolt]

i should have the edge as he dose not like revving his car past 4000 lmao

but he might get a bit competitive if i start wining lol

[Rich]

I would be worried about that too if i drove a fiat punto!

[turbojolt]

lol its funny lil car to drive it goes alright for a 1.2 imo

[Jack]

60sx is 60bhp, nova is about 100kg lighter.

Punto has more torque though, 0-60 and top speeds are pretty much comparable, so comes down to driver really.

[turbojolt]

i will rev the valve thro the bonet if its the price i have to pay


mind you i have to get the dam car first lol


his car would be like 8 years newer then the nova

[draper]

lol

[turbojolt]

draper you know its worth it lmao

[bigbened]

i think it would have the edge over the nova tbf, i have driven both and that italian peice o shat will probably win if it doesent blow up lol

[Philsutton]

It doesnt matter as you'll both be losers

[Andy]

lol @ phil
If its that important to beat each other why not race in cars with proper engines as the race will be about as interesting as watching paint dry

[Jack]

Important question is, which has more stickaz y0?

[paul james]

buy one of these amazing supercharger kits from ebay, and you'll destroy that silly punto!

[mowgli]

[turbojolt]

hopefully down bovingdon airfield


p.s i'm not a chav and I'm not stupid enough to buy some piece of ebay crap


the reason they are small engines is just a insurance matter and iw as hoping after a years no claims to put a 1.3 or 1.4 sr engine in to the nova but 1.2 will have to do until then


l.m.a.o at the above link i know but the thing is i have been going on about how i think novas are good cars for so many years that if i was to lose to his punto the embarrassment would be just to much
after all the justifying over the years
