alfas are a natural progression from fiat. loads of alfa owners are ex-fiat owners.
how on earth did you get that from a 1.8? downhill?

nope it was on the flat. i only had a bravo so it was loads lighter than a marea, plus i had small wheels/tyres so the engine could almost redline in 5th.

Re: Can You Re-Map a Fiat Bravo HLX 115bhp??

btw... thats just an estimate, i have a RR print out of 95 with an angel remap, pants induction and the exhuast. so with the GSR should have brought it up a notch or two

Re: Can You Re-Map a Fiat Bravo HLX 115bhp??

yeah same 1.6 16v as used in the stilo.

you'd need to lose 1.5secs off your standard 0-60 to keep up with one. realistically a remap and GSR cant do that, but you wouldnt be far behind.
