Officially:-

0-62 mph in 9.6 seconds

128 bhp @ 4000 rpm

228 lb ft @ 1900 rpm

1/4 mile in approx 17 seconds

In reality, the 0-60 time seems to vary between 8-9 seconds. 1/4 mile has been done in as little as 16.2 from a standard car IIRC.

thats brilliant mate, all i needed to know.

i know they are qucik, very quick when revo'd but needed to check the standard stats.

what about torque? i hear its 300mn? but thats the same as my 2.2 CDI sprinter van!

Quoted as 310Nm. It is a 1.9 so not far off the size of the Sprinter, plus the PD really boosts up the torque.

sorry for being a bit new to these, but whats the PD?

PD = Pumpe D

oh yeah i get ya.

i think my friends vito has a few fuel pumps keeping the fuel pressure very high.

basically what i'm trying to find out is how the performance of a Fabia vRS compares to my Punto GT.

my car has 160bhp, 165lb/ft torque and will do 0-60 in around 6.5 seconds and 1/4 mile in high 14's.

does anyone know the weight of a Fabia? my car weighs just under 1000kgs.

The main factors that appear to impact on this (apart from driver skill) are temperature related (I'm assuming a dry road for the rest).

When it's really nice and cold, the engine is able to pull all the way through the gears without heatsoak, whereas with higher temps the heatsoak will reduce the usable power significantly after a few high-end-revving gears :(

yeah i know all about that far to well.

I was looking at the Punto GT when I was shopping for a new car, It seems that the GT is faster and from what I've heard has better handling, But when I looked the GT was also insurance group 15 and the MPG was well below the vRS. Price won out in the end. The vRS had all the fun at a smaller price.

yeah very true, if i wanted a quick, comfortable all round car, i would definitely buy a VAG motor.

i love my GT to bits, insurance group 14 as far as i know. petrol turbo's always drink fuel.

And with a CC1 and a few other tweaks you'll see 180 bhp and 290 lb/ft of torque, weight is 1315 and the handling is good, however roll is noticable, certainly in need of lowering to reduce the centre of gravity. Brakes are good in feel and only fade after some fast road use, however most people opt for the 312mm upgrade (Octavia vRS discs/pads and other VAG cars) which are slightly larger and apparently in a different league, no fade either unless your doing some track action.

What you need to do when your buying this car is work out how much you are willing to spend modifying it or whether you are happy with it being standard. A standard 04 plate can set you back as little at 9k with 15-20k miles and will be brisk enough if your not wanting a renault sport clio sytle car, but something which is warm, comfortable, reliable and economic.

If your wanting to do mods then set aside atleast

Yeah, my last (and first) car was a 1.2 Punto. Nothing about it was 'good' but I loved it. Kept drooling at the GT thinking I'd get one next. But my wallet just wouldn't stretch. (he says now with all the mods he wants to buy for the vRS :rolleyes: )

my car was a 1.1 until i done a full GT conversion on her.

What you also need to be aware of is that once remapped & fettled a bit too ;) the 80-110 is astonishing, it really just pulls with no hesitance - so quick infact that on my local drag strip my brothers 172 with no spare wheel, and ridiculously light alloys for unsprung weight saving along with panel filter was whipped my vRS from a standing start to 120 by about 2-3 lengths (he will concur with this), and his was RR'd at 174 bhp by GDI.

Having said that you do pay for your mods, unfortunately I cannot say to what extent but my car is unwell at the moment :(

Manguish used to have a Punto GT, one of the last ones made too.

The best thing about it was that it was a modern day Renault 5 Turbo. The worst thing about it was, ironically enough, that it was a modern day Renault 5 Turbo...

yeah i know they are quick when remapped etc, however, my mates car is standard and he's not allowed to modify it as its a company car.

in what sense?

Has he not considered just a switchable remap i.e. AmD One Click/Star Performance switchable map or REVO SP1/2? you can also buy digital tuning boxes which offer a good overall gain but are not as good as proper remaps but lets not start this debate again, that way you have nearly undetectable tuning and removable for warranty/crash :)

to be honest i doubt he has checked, i dont know if he even know about this site until i made this post.
