FFS give the guy a break.
welcome to Scoobynet Pitty,
Fiat coupes are bloody quick even in standard form, dont worry about your STI being quicker in a straight line (it probably is anyway)
an STI over any given road will be able to put the power down better than the Fiat.
good luck with the car.

Start modding and they are as fast as anything out there within reason. Handling is safe and fun but can be snappy when youre drifting but you can balance on the throttle up to a point.
In the wet a little tricky in 1st, but in 2nd foot to the floor. Mine wasnt chipped just a std car. As quick as the figures suggest... maybe not quite. But in a straight line easy a match for the modern equivilant.
Sometimes in a 350bhp Evo im at 90mph changing for 4th and thinking... the Fiat would be just stretching its legs in 3rd by now. You gotta love the Fiat. Fix it again tony? Christ mine never missed a beat in 2 years apart from consumables. FACT.

I just think the idea of posting on here about racing other types of car is pathetic.
Perhaps I am a snob, but I don't think illiteracy is anything to be proud of, nor is it something you can do nothing about.
Nothing personal.

The thread is about Fiat Coupes. If you dont like performance comparisons then why bother posting at all. Many people are interested in the abilities of 1 vehicle compared to another, read any performance car magazine and you will see what I mean.

Yet again, I have to say that, the punctuation and grammar in these posts is abysmal! It's no wonder there is no pride in the country when you lot can't be bothered to write the written word down correctly. Your lives must be so dull and embarrassing knowing if someone asks you write something down how appalling it will look. Spend a little more time on your English and less with the cars, that's my advice.

What's with the commer after 'I have to say that'?
And paragraph breaks wouldn't go amiss...

Always thought my fiat was fast. Not quite in the same league but it used to make civic type r's look stupid. Thirsty on the juice though. Well not compared to an sti! Not sure if my clocks in miles or kilometers but I only get around 30 somethings to £10's worth of optimax. Sound right under average driving?

Because any car that beats an Impreza has to be modified

i once raced a very fast 20 v turbo but never found out what he was running
my car was an my05 uk sti running about 350 bhp and to say i felt like i was crawling past is an understatment

What makes you think he was ''running'' anything other than standard power? They are quick cars in their own right. They are capable of hitting 60mph in 6 seconds dead and 100mph in just over 14 seconds. Take away the wheel spin off the line and you have a rapid car which wouldn't be a mile away from being a match for your STi. The fact that you crawled past it probably meant it was standard
