Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo vs Corvette Z06 - Drag Race Santa Pod

[RFreigeldorff]

@ARD178

you would have a hard time to aquire a well sorted, adequately maintened 20v turbo for that money to be honest.

yes, they do exist, but many buyers who bought a cheap one ended up investing the same money again soon to keep it on the road. lets not forget, this is an eccentric, 10+ year old turbocharged car. you buy cheap, you learn your lesson later. low-mileage, well-maintained examples are increasing again, you'll be in the market for a good one for ~10k€, at least here in europe.

Q VA A GANAR ESE FIAT PT

[makisp2]

@ARD178 Wow buddy, ill say something. First of all, that is a fast Fiat, I won"t deny that. Second, a 12.4 is far worse than the Z06's potential; 11.6 (bone stock) which by the way is faster than what the Fiat ran in this video. Third, learn English.

[herkules666X]

the car is all stock?

[RetroGamerr1991]

That is unbelieveable. Awesome job. How did you import that btw?

[poldsmobile]

interesting pairing, and interesting to see how the fiat almost appears to have the legs on the vette at the top end, or is that just the camera angle?

[janbatos]

which charger now running? and awd or fwd now? car runs nice at the strip :) classic video

[bobsedici]

Great to see fiat lovers in the USA ! Best regards from Brazil!

[mayzon111222]

@bobsedici its the uk dude :)

[JohnyAngelo]

stock 20VT has about 220hp and 310 Nm ...

[mykentaki]

amazing!

[tkhobbs]

Im really impressed with this little fiat... what sort of power does it make? Is it even close to stock?

[legendapoju22]

No it ain't stock. The Stock 5cylinder 20V Turbo Coupe made like 200hp, bit over.

I don't think it would've been that close to a Z06 lol

[Colemode]

Haha, I like the guy who made this video.  Very fair with the description and humble. Good job, whoever you are. :)

[spos123]

that doesnt have NOS

[HEMIH3AD]

this was a C6 not a Z06

[killerzracing71]

and the victory goes across the pond :)

I know you all drive on the wrong side of the road.

But I thought the winner is the first to go across the line? RIght?

THe vettes time poped up before the fiat.

[ciakkettino]

mister cow boy don't forget that fiat engine is only 2.0 liter corvette is 7.0 liter and the cost of fiat is only 20 000 corvette is 70 000 i after say anymore????

[killerzracing71]

Well if youd like a car that cost under 15k and runs 9.5s in the 1/4 (low 6s in the 1/8th) come down to the Fredericksburg VA in the us.

You can see the car in question on my uploads the white mustang.

Should I say anymore?

[ciakkettino]

so wath is still 5.0 liter in italy we make car 1.4 liter that go from o to 100 km in 2 second (fiat uno turbo con nos 800 cv )takr look and let me know if in america anyone can do that with that small engine i after say anymore????

[killerzracing71]

Well........ thats not N/A

So its technically not 1.4 liters anymore if your forcing more air into the motor.

BTW that Fiat weighs about ohhhhhhhh under 2,500 lbs too.

STFU.

Learn something before you talk.

Your mad that your italian car lost, and want to talk shit, I have love for anything thats fast but dont try to say "oh its because its engine is bigger" step your shit up so it can run.

So what that car do in the 1/4?

[ciakkettino]

killer racing lol the only thing you can kill is your self in the first corner if you use american car lol

[killerzracing71]

UHHHHHH Doubt it.

Zr1 a tad over 1g lateral

Ever heard of the Saleen S7 TT?

Remeber the Gt40 from the 60s? You know why that car was built?

It was because Ferrari wouldnt let Ford buy the company, so they decided to make there own car.

1 2 3 win at Lemans

Look up Protouring, you can see cars that are orignal muscle cars that can hang (or pass) with the best of the Foriegn Exotics.

Dude just quite you dont know enough to try to battle me.

[ciakkettino]

e buddy i know more then you think about car that my life you got the wrong man why ford left formula one???? america was so embaressed that they left in 70" and never come back lol and that saleen is piece shit they never sold one i suggest you people to keep make hamburgher becouse that only specialty lol

[killerzracing71]

Yes mam.

Remeber the C5r? ohhhhhhhh but Im gone cuz you think your better then everyone, which is a major problem for you people cant give credit where credit is due.

I said cool fiat that can do 0-60 in 2 seconds thats awesome.

Your arguing the Fiat winning when the vette clearly came across the line first.

then your trying to come up with a excuse on why it lost .

Dude just go on about your day, and post some vids and stop adding favorites.

[ciakkettino]

mister killer you don't impress anyone here in europe becouse you people use truck engine compare 2.0 liter engine  from gmc and beat that little fiat and i will give you alot of credit imaging if was the other way round 7.0 liter in the fiat and 2.0 liter in that piece shit corvette lol

[killerzracing71]

Well...........

Type this in Ecotec Nopi

One of the vid shows a Chevy Cobalt that ruan 9.97 in the 1/4 N/a that means no turbo no nitrous.

There you go, we got the little motors covered too.

there people even faster then that dude, so dont try to say in america we dont know how to make shit fast even if its small.

Bring some facts to the table and stop trying to bash.

[killerzracing71]

Records:

7.15 seconds, 202.79 mph -€“ Gary Gardella, NHRA S/C Pro FWD (quickest and fastest fwd 4-cylinder)

OHHHHHHHHH

[DenverTC]

nice come backs sir , i love fiat for theyr way of putting power on small engines , the 5 in line coupe turbo is just great , i love italian cars , the most inteligent cars , i have a custom 600 under construction , i plan to use uno or punto turgo engine to keep the small sohc engine idea , long live fiat , the greatest !

[ciakkettino]

tx and god bless you!!!!!!

[mageac]

ford rs200.... 1.8 did 0-60 in 2.8 in the 80s....

and that fiat uses nos, not exactly stock is it?

[DenverTC]

it doesnt have nos dude ;)

[mageac]

it was towards ciakkettino who believes a fiat that is modified beyond recognition and runs a huge amount of nitrous is proof that imports are better then American cars....

[DenverTC]

this one has no nos , and imports are better than american , muscle on straight , fiat on the corners ;)

[mageac]

i didnt say it had nitrous...

and id like too see that fiat out corner a z06....

[Colemode]

To DenverTC- You said Fiat in corners... Have you ever seen a Z06 handle? It's really formittable granted the driver knows throttle control and can keep the wheels from spinning.

[rioter257]

umm i dont use NOS

[smjakkkk]

Bravo Fiat!!! Viva 2000 20v turbo!!!

[BillyJohnLee]

Forget what these guys (who clearly no nothing) are saying, thats a mental run. i own a few quick fwd cars myself (including a high 13 sec coupe) but can only dream of running 11 sec quarters. lovely car you got there. what turbo you running? gt30?

[spos123]

No Argueing People. Both cars are great.. end of

[eljaimillo]

i like that fiat, here in mexico are starting to sell these italian brand, cheers nice vid

[tobeenoojin]

very nice run

cheers!

[chichan76]

this is not power to weight

this is money to money..

GOoo fiat ;)

[VeeteorCars]

Seen your Fiat Coupe at the Pod many times and knew I'd have to do a good pass to beat it!

Thats my Z06 and was stock when that video was made. Its tricky to launch and get the best out of 505bhp & run flats, anything in the 12s is pretty average really. My best is 11.79 @ 123mph bang on the factory claims.

When are you next racing? I will be at Shakey for the final round of UK SRS on 27/28th Sept. Why not join the series next year with a true street racer like the Fiat?

[cahla11]

Cool vette brother, that thing has so much more room and durability for mods compared to that fiat. That fiat probably weighs about as much as your motor.

[FleaPit]

The Fiat Coupe weighs 100kg at 1310kg less but is also front wheel drive. It also has four seats, more room in general! As for reliability, well yes a big displacement V8 should definately have an easier life than a boosted 2 litre straight 5.

[ciakkettino]

eee you cok sucker you still round are you pregnant yed ??? hahahhah

[cahla11]

Well, if it isn't the queer Italian guy that want's to marry the pregnant American dude. Can't get him off of your mind can you? who's the cock sucker now?

[ciakkettino]

who"s the cock sucker now???you ar the one !!!!!!there is no question about

[cahla11]

Did you even understand my post? go back to 1st grade. I see you copied my post and actually spelled something correctly, good job!! how is your pregnant boyfriend?

[ciakkettino]

you talk about the american dude pregnant??? hahahhah only in america !!!!!

[cahla11]

It's funny how you hate the United States and yet you are on youtube? who do you think invented youtube? it is you that is constantly talking about the pregnant American guy, are you finally coming out of the closet GUIDO boy? why don't you post something that actually makes sense.

[ciakkettino]

ok buddy let talk about something different !!!!! this little fiat kick the corvette hess lol

[cahla11]

It's a stock Z06 you fucking retard. What the fuck is "hess" it is ASS you stupid guido. Why do you want to talk about something different? is it because you got punked by an AMERICAN? I think so. A tuned fiat beats a stock vette, not really saying much.

[ciakkettino]

e buddy that vette is 7.0 liter engine and the fiat is only 2.0 so even if tuned the fiat vette should win hahahahah american cars sucks just like the people VIVA L'ITALIA !!!!!!

[cahla11]

It's called the DRIVER you stupid fuck. Do you even know what 7.0 liter means? you probably don't. Be sure to google that so you can actually tell me. Go blow Giueseppe while he drives your gay fiat. How do you explain all of the other videos of vettes spanking Italian cars?

[ciakkettino]

wath driver stupid idiot !!!! i'm talk about the size of the engine !!!!!american put truck engine inside sport cars and they still lose vs little fiat hahahaahah hoho all the american carscompany going are business i wonder why ??????

[cahla11]

You have no idea what I am even talking about do you? learn how to write because that makes no sense.

[ciakkettino]

ok i know you ar american and i know you stupid i will explain again. each engine have size like ferrari f 430 that means engine size 4.3 liter engine ok fiat coupe is 2.0 liter engine corvette z06 have 7.0 liter engine do you undestein now??????

[cahla11]

That fiat may have been 2.0L from the factory, it is turbocharged now and is no longer forcing in only 2.0 liters per 2 engine revolutions, it's called forced induction you fucking retard, therefore it is technically not a 2.0 liter since it is forcing in more air!!

[ciakkettino]

you ar on idiot plain and simple you can do wath ever you want to a car the size of the ccwont change

[cahla11]

Are you friggin serious? you can't even spell common words like "what" and I am the idiot? so you are saying no matter what you do to an engine's rotating assembly, the size stays the same. So I guess if I bore and stroke a 350 chev to a 383 it still has the same volume in all cylinders? you are friggin retarded.

[shbycbra427]

Damn, you guys are all over the place. Don't worry about it. Its jealousy and that is it. How can anyone hate the Corvette when it has basically ruined an entire racing class by being too good? Does this guy realize that you pay a price for powerful small engines too? The extra power tends to come at the expense of the engine's life. It isn't superior design, just a trade off and Ferrari has made a different choice than GM. I still love 'em but Ferraris do crap out at like 30,000 miles.

[ciakkettino]

e buddy like i say before you are on idiot but not regular idiot you ar professional 2.0 liter don't matter wath work you do is still 2.0 liter engine but i undestein you from usa wath ken i do lol

[mkuroglu]

Dude shut the fuck up and sign up at an English Teaching School, it is easy I learned it in 3 months I am sure you can do the same. And respect that fiat for being that close to the mighty z06

[ciakkettino]

mister mustafa of course i respect the fiat more then that crappy zo6 with truck engine 7.0 liter .and how did you undestein me if i don't speak good english???? so you schut fuck up camel rider lol

[dante01010]

truck engine ?...It's smaller than many european V8 engines with much less displacement, do some research

[mageac]

ls7 also has a better power to weight ratio then pretty much any n/a engine out there...

even the fc2000, the engine in the s2000, is a 2.0 with 250 hp, and still has less hp per pound then the ls7, actually almost half

[WetDirtProductions]

dude hes talking about turbocharging not boreing out a cylinder. my fuck your stupid cahcla11. If you turbocharge an engine you arent increasing the engine size, measument wise, your increasing its horsepower. your an idiot and have no clue what your talking about. here it takes up too much in a comment so ill msg you to explane to your small mind how engines work. fuck its like shop class all over again, and your the class dumbass who thinks he knows everything.

[cahla11]

I think you are the retarded one, Ciakettino said that no matter what "work" you do to a 2.0 liter engine it will always be a 2.0 liter engine which is not true.

[escos5079]

yeh but you said "it is turbocharged now and is no longer forcing in only 2.0 liters per 2 engine revolutions, it's called forced induction you fucking retard, therefore it is technically not a 2.0 liter since it is forcing in more air!!" which is the biggest load of bollox!!! everyone is entitle to their opinions about things but keep yours to youself you aint doing your fellow yanks a favour. This is why everyone thinks americans are dumb f**ks because of people like you.

[Fifress]

@cahla11 who the f said that? LOL

[escos5079]

now do some research befor you type you retard Steve Chen was born in 1978 in Taiwan and immigrated to the United States when he was 15 he invented youtube ;) guess what he aint american. makes people look stupid when they type things that are just totaly false dont it. idiot.

[FleaPit]

I have to admit I saw you early on and wanted to get a head to head :) If I am honest I was quite pleased as I don't normally go on the lights but ready myself, but when it's a traffic light race you got go when it's green!

Look forward to some more races, despite my car being modified I always race in full street trim. It's not a drag car or race car, very much a street car but I rag it on the strip and track whenever I can :)

[tinyhorse]

@VeeteorCars fiat £5000 vet £50000

[intrepidvs]

Fiat coupe 20v turbo the best

[Roflaids]

The ferrari of the poor.

[WaxDaddy113]

[kertong]

Great race! Keeping up with a C6 Z06 is no easy task. Hats off to you for your fast car, as well as your great sportsman attitude!

[brian991937]
