So which will actually be quickest - GP Abarth, or 1.9 Sporting with Remap?
Or is this a silly question?
Well that's what I was thinking tbh - just didn't know if the Abarth figures weren't being as flattering as they should be?Yes it is a silly question and will be discussed to death as it has many times. The GP abarth will no doubt be faster on a track mostly because of the enhanced handling and revier engine. I have a feeling this engine won't be too receptive to remapping tbh.
The GPS with remap however would be faster for all everyday to day type driving where mid range grunt is more fun and all out power the look on all the repmobiles faces is priceless as you effortlessly over take them even when they are flat out :devil:.

I just don't understand why they've made the standard Abarth so weak? Sure, the SS kit can push it up to ~180bhp (at a steep price increase), but the Abarths used in rallying for the past couple of years are all 2 litre engines. Can't understand why they didn't offer closer to 180bhp as standard...
Anyone.
Mine's remapped by Angel and I have no problem with excessive smoke... the bloke driving behind me might though!
Seriously though I put BP ultimate in mine and it does burn pretty clean even when booting it to be honest...The only time I have been unhappy with the smoke has been using Morrisons fuel, not sure why their's should produce more smoke, but it does.
As regards performance, as mentioned through the gears truly shows the cars added potential 0-60's are painful for the car and to watch. I've done several in mine...pre map 0-60 was 9.63, post was 8.01, with me (15st) and Nige (who aint no slim jim) on board.
Since then had it timed with an accurate GPS device at 7.7 seconds with just a driver and no passengers.
A remap makes an already enjoyable car to drive even better, enjoy the difference!
