According to his statement, due to the fact you own a Focus ST your a "straight faced dick"".
Yes but I have a Brava, which I gather means I'm in with the in-crowd (that'll be a first)
Fiat's are SLOW

You do realise I've owned fiats and been part of this forum for the last 4 years yes? lol
I've come to the conclusion that you are a ****.
I think the general public would more likely buy a genuinely fast Fiat, than an Alfa Romeo. Alfa STILL dont have a good rep for reliability despite the incredibly sexy looks of the 159 and the Brera.
I'd buy a "hot" Bravo over a "Hot" Mito or 159.

I must admit I agree. Although I think they reserve that corner of the market for the Alfa range. Although even they seem to be getting lardy and slow
I can remember back in 2006 when I was looking at the Grande thinking "where's the powerful Petrol engine". So was stuck with a dirty derv :bang:.
Do what I've done and get a frugal "daily" car and get something bonkers for the weekend like a Coupe 20VT / Uno Turbo :slayer:. You'd struggle to get anything as fast for the £'s.....
I can only dream of owning a 20VT. Am I right in saying its the acceleration experienced AFTER the national speedlimit which puts distance between it, and Focus ST's etc.
If what I've read is correct Astra VXR 0-100 17's... Coupe 20VT 14's???

That would be about right
Fiats are as fast as required imo, they have enough juice to take on most of the general public.
It's always nice to have a Focus ST for example, but as said earlier when buying my car i looked at tax / insurance / fuel costs and you save a fortune with a fiat.
Besides, if I wanted to go quickly id buy a motorbike... would smoke any of the above with ease for half the price & half the costs, yeah maybe a little closer to death but if your after some fun why go half way... and the only person you'll be killing is yourself. (well, in most cases.)
That's the way i see it, id love a motorbike though... hmm, maybe.

I like the way you mention Maserati & Ferrari & say buy alfa romeo if you want a fast car?

I know but why did he mention them in this discussion as its makes no difference to what we are talking about.I think what he means a fast car within the financial reach of most people
Much slower? Standing start 0-60 perhaps to a few tenths of a second, but how about in gear - for example coming out of a hairpin in 2nd gear and ripping up-hill to the next bend?
Driving is about much more than 0-60 - going around corners quick is much, much more fun.

I don't think Fiat's are built to smoke the other cars at the lights. They have to move slowly for the on-lookers to take in the beauty and panache of these Italian beauties, designed by the world's finest car designers.
A Honda or a Toyota is not as graceful as a Fiat in motion. Hence they are fitted with a more powerful engine so that they are not stationary for long.

I've got a doblo 1.9jtd and if I spin up revs I can watch most chavmobiles in my rear view. In fact, when I'm in the mood, I like to get half a car's lead, take it to the speed limit then ease off the gas, holding it at the speed limit - no need to do any more as It's proved itself, letting the muppets carry on beyond the speed limit.
Only downside of doing that is that my mpg drops considerably - so I tend only to do it if the muppet next to me is itching for a burn up (although sometimes I will edge forward as though consenting to a burn up but then sedately draw away from the line letting them thrash their motors.:devil:
Just to add, I recently had the chance to floor it on a local track. The satnav said 98mph, speedo said 116mph
