Celtic Tuning can do increadable things with the gm/Fiat 1.9 16v engine (jtdm fiat group name) I was looking for an economical car whish would be sprightly to drive, After a lot of reading etc I settled on this engine, and decided it had to be in the lightest car so decided the Alfa 147 JTDm 150 or the Fiat Stilo with the same engine. A check on celtic tuning's site shows with thier magic 212bhp and a whopping 327 Torque (Lbft) (A Ferrari 355 F1 only has 268 lbs of Tourque). All in a good looking, good handling car which only weighs 1270 kg and gives 48mpg. That is 170 bhp per ton and a scientifically worked out 0-60 of 6.45secs
Also when "evo" tested it they tested the 147gta at the same time. I quote/
"Now, here's an odd thing. This JTD was revealed to us at the same time as the GTA, and I spent a while chasing that hottest 147 along some sinuous Italian roads. Was keeping up a problem? It was not, unless the road opened right out. The easy thrust had a lot to do with this, but so did the ride and the joyously understeer-resistant handling."
Now i have wrote this I want one.........de dum de dum de dum..ebay, pistonheads,autotrader here i come.....
