Re: Whats the top speed you have got out of your Punto???

In my punto, 113mph on the dials with the wind on my side at least it wasn't downhill, heheh. Have to say I prefer mum's civic though, got a nice 140mph out of that, would've been more but I decided I was being an idiot. She was impressed, mind.

I don't think the aerodynamic profile on a Punto at high speeds is too great.. I've had playful drags with a mate in a 1.6 Escort, I'll have the advantage up until about 70 and then it'll start to glide ahead...

i know this, he said his mate had a 1.6 escort, that he could beat up to 70, which i seriously doubt, unless the escort aint trying, or he has more than 60 bhp

i was asking what civic it was

Re: Whats the top speed you have got out of your Punto???

Just a Civic, bloody diesel as well! 2007 model with all the funny angles.

Also, the results with the escort aren't that suprising; look at the power to weight ratios, some highly unscientific ghetto maths later you're looking at similar ratios. The Escort puts out about 90 brake or thereabouts but it's a good 300 kilos heavier too.

Or I am putting out some extra horses Reading petrol mate, full of nitrous, haha.
