oo i see your into track racing then 
You're outdoing Rover tomcats? I think they aren't trying mate Same for the 160ZR, it would leave you for dead. Oh - and the quattro TT's are WAY faster too.

tt quattros are the 2 litre ones right? with the twin exit exhaust.
the mgs are pretty rapid too and the rovers would be gone asap.

Some stats...
Punto HGT - 130BHP I've seen numerous 0-60 times ranging from 8.3 through to 9 secs. Let's be generous and say 8 seconds.
Audi TT quattro - 225BHP, 0-60 6.6 secs
Rover tomcat - 220BHP - 0-60 6.5 secs
MG ZR160 - 160BHP - 0-60 7.4 secs
I can only presume that you are assuming that the cars you are racing are the "hotter" versions. For example - how can you tell you are racing a ZR 160 on the road? they all look the same. The only way you'd notice if you were racing a TT quattro is if it had twin exit exhausts. Finally, the Tomcat looks the same as the 1.6 and 2.0 models.

waita burst his bubble, can have a race against you in the marea if you like, dont be too sad when you relise your cars not as quick as you thought though.
and deff not a chance in hell against the quattro, my brother in law has one, flippin rappid and he can do corners at 110 that i can only do at about 60-70! i want 4WD!

Tomcat i'd agree with pinin, ditto the TT, but the MG i'll disagree with pinin on that one, i had one line up next to me on the 0-60 strip at donny south, and was neck and neck with him all the way (when i fluffed 2nd to 3rd gear change still ended up pretty level iirc?)
edit: oops then see's pinnins next post with the times
The punto's about 1040KG, the ZR is about 100KG heavier, but it has an extra 30BHP, so yeah they could be about even. but I fail to see how he would "out do" one unless he was more committed around the twisties. But the "awesome for speed" lead me to believe he was talking about a straight line race as opposed to handling.

I really want to see what my JTD would be like against an HGT. Dodgy clutch and all my mate timed a 0-60 in 8.4 seconds. Lots of people say the standard HGT would rape a remapped JTD, even though they weigh about the same, my car has 2bhp more and about 70lb/ft of torque more :chin:

What mods have you done? Book figure for your car is 9 seconds
why not just post up measurements?

Hate to burst your bubble Luke but there is no way on this planet that your Punto HGT would keep up with my standard Rover Coupe Turbo. On a rolling start, even Scoobies have a hard time pulling away from me so you're saying that you Punto is quicker than one of them?
Not knocking the HGT, it's a fine car but in my opinion the other drivers weren't trying.
According to my owners manual, the stats are
197BHP - 0-60 6.2 secs
And keep your racing to the track!

A car is only as good as the person driving it tho. I had a bloke in a Ferrari F430 round a roundabout (he looked a bit annoyed!) but once the road straightened up he was gone. Down my favourite bit of twisty road a bloke in a Z4 couldn't get rid of me until we got to a 30mph section where I refused to speed.
