I read somewhere that 8.2 secs (2 secs slower than that other beast of a car the Fiat Uno Turbo i.e. in it's heyday), was the fastest 0-60 time from standstill for an unmodified HGT? As a HGT owner I am inclined to believe that figure from past experience At 7 secs the car would need a pretty meaty beast I think to get it up to those figures. I do believe there is a guy on here somewhere who actually dropped a different engine lump in his motor but can't for the life of me remember what figures he produced from that conversion?

Yep it certainly is a bit of alcoholic, maybe the fuel tank should have gone on the top then re-name 'Fiat Camel' lol. Just today cost me £20 for a spin from North London to Tollworth...well more of a blast than a spin

They go bloody quick off the edge of a cliff...
punto HGT, god they drink, and considering they are not in teh hottest state of tune the milage is terrible (tried one out and got 22mpg according to the computer, and I wasn't driving it hard).
to get one down under 7sec would be possible, but a 6second FWD car is not easy to get around.

I would of thought under 7's should be pretty easy on most modern hot/warm hatches...
I mean c'mon I got a 7.7 out of my 205gti which isn't exactly the most modern of technology!!!
did Fiat never do a turbocharged version of the HGT?
was it the hottest punto they did? (luke warm )

the genius of the uno was even the 45 felt like it could do 200mph because of the god-awful dynamics!

They did a Turbo Diesel version (JTDm HGT) which was 130bhp out the factory but can be remapped to 160-170bhp.
And whats with all this talk about 0-60 times its ****** and is no way a decent method to measure a cars performance other than the pub talk factor.

Once or twice but I prefer it when some burk in a BMW style car goes to over take and can't . The look on the numpty's face is usually priceless .
Ive drove a few HGT's and I must say I feel like there lacking go for what you expect. Doens't feel much quicker than my 1.4 16v Sporting.

I second that last comment! Although the Uno Turbo ie is still a legend in it's own right and I believe only killed off by a second by the French Beast of that era the Mk2 Renault 5 GT Turbo(7 secs standard 5 chipped). Puegout 205 GTi was a contender but from I remember in my old college days you were either for the Uno, Renault or Peugout camp,VW Golf's or Escort Cosworth.
Of course I was rootin for the Uno Turbo camp every time
