I think he was implying the Abarth Essesse which at (an estimated) 17k is more expensive than the other "oranges" for much lower performance 
The standard Abarth at 13.5k isn't bad when compared to it's direct competition (although I still maintain you're paying 3.5k just for a beefier look when you can get debated better performance from a remapped 1.9 sporting).
But then I'm bias too

I couldn't agree more - the 'esseesse' kit is a crazy price. Plus I've been told (but not confirmed) that you wont be able to finance it with the car. So if you don't have 17k to drop on a new car (and who on here does?) then you'll have to take a separate personal loan on the kit.
Just make it a factory spec Fiat!

Alright, alright mister*** me that must be a decentish remap, didn't realise they went that quick!. Makes me wanna buy another GPS
To clarify, I'm not saying the 1.9 remapped is the "better" car, as like you've already correctly stated, there's a LOT of different bits and pieces on the Abarth that make it a completely different, and much imporved beast. I guess I'm just surprised the Abarth doesn't have the Essesse performance as standard...
Meh.

I think puntokris said that he was staying with CTRs to around 80mph on a track day not long ago.
He's running 188bhp and 310+lbft torque from a red dot map.

Yea but do you really reckon that new VXR is going to be less then 17k?
It's £16,995 on the road.
It's the Remus exhaust that adds the 15hp. Similar to the one for the Ashtray VXR where it adds 20hp.

I was looking at buying a 1.4 t-jet GP but looking at this thread i might go for the 1.9 m-jet . Any suggestions ?

All depends on if you're gonna be remapping it or not. With fuel costs and purchase price I don't think it's worth getting the diesel unless you're doing mega mileage.
Don't forget there will be a influx of second hand almost brand new Abarth turbochargers coming onto the market soon when people fit the bigger 'esseesse' turbo. I know FF would be the first place I'd advertise mine.
