duffer 0 Posted December 16, 2004 Driving home tonight, i pulled up at a set of traffic lights which lead onto a dual carridge way. A little ratty 19 year old kev / townie, pulls up behind me in a bog standard looking 1.6 Puma. Being mature........i decided to nail it off and show him up. But he stayed right up my ass till i pulled over at about 95 (private road!!!!). To my horror as a pulled over with my right foot still planted, he shot off into the distance!! God knows what he had under the bonnet, but it sounded like a rally car even with a standard exhaust!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted December 16, 2004 racing puma maybe? they dont look that much different to a standard one other than the phat arches! whats yours duffer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godskitchen 0 Posted December 16, 2004 he was prob running it on white lightening! puma's were either 1.4 or 1.7 IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted December 16, 2004 1.7 had 120ish bhp unless it was a racing one which had more like 150bhp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louie Lungbubble 0 Posted December 16, 2004 Don't tell me..... You've got a valver? Ha ha. Dunno what that Puma might have had under the bonnet, but I learned a lesson early on in my 16V Corrado ownership. Driving the car back from the original purchase, I couldn't convincingly lose my mate in his 150k 1.8 Mondeo. :roll: As someone else on here with a valver says in his sig. "Not 1/10th as fast as it looks" May be true, but I wouldn't part with the blighter for anything. (Well, maybe for a G60 or VR) :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duffer 0 Posted December 16, 2004 Was definatly not a racing!! You can see racing puma's arches a mile off. I've got a 2.0l 16v, decat, full stainless exhaust and K&N. Not much but should have been enough to see him off!! Godskitchen? Do you go there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godskitchen 0 Posted December 16, 2004 do i go where? oh right i see now! yeah i used to be into that whole scene big style! kinda not been in over a year, still do all the big ones tho like "Global Gathering" and the rest of um! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted December 16, 2004 It has need known for people to put RS turbo engines in them. Easily made fast, especially in such a small car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godskitchen 0 Posted December 16, 2004 At the end of the day the Puma is a Fiesta in a niceish dress! Sorry in advance to the guy on the forum that has a racing puma! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godskitchen 0 Posted December 16, 2004 duffer: quality mate, altho u shouldnt have said anything as i will be tapping you up for tickets now!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 16, 2004 Don't be so down about it - the Corrado is just a heavy car. Its quite a humbing experience being beaten by something you were sure you could thrash. The time my old 2.0 16v got absolutely destroyed by a really tatty looking Civic was such an experience.. wasn't till I caught up with it at the next roundabout that I saw it was a stripped out, sleeper, 2.0i VTEC - no wonder it destroyed me ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duffer 0 Posted December 16, 2004 godskitchen: No worries mate, there a space+one on the guestlist whenever you want it. Just dont remind me about the puma ha ha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted December 16, 2004 being unable to loose a saxo is a regular annoyance for me, i hate the fact he'll go and brag to his mates how he's kept up with a corrado and they're 'not all that' thus tarnishing the C's reputation! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see the same happening for the Saxo. Nuff said ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godskitchen 0 Posted December 16, 2004 Back on topic now for me, jumsG60 100% agree, its like good music, will be talked about for years, the saxo is like girls aloud, yeah you would but how will they look in years to come? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishill 0 Posted December 16, 2004 i agree jim, doesnt stop me getting pi$$ed at a chav driving a tin-shoebox keeping up with me though :( the corrado should just naturally whoop the saxo's butt, and the fact it doesnt proves to me there is no god.
