just found it i like reading about the development of johns's

568BHP, 440lbs/ft (V-Power), 616BHP, 480lbs/ft (102 RON fuel) all at just 1.5 bar boost

and that was over 5 years ago ruben.

will be good to see what people are running 3 years from now


Nice to see people taking interest, that's what its all about!

John S' coupe was a very special car indeed and a one off at its time. A shame we never got a chance to push the publicity on it.

As i said earlier, we took to the initiative to promote the tuned coupe scene with great success.

Even though current power levels are similar to John's, we have made major breakthrough's with all the current platforms which are as follows:

2.5L Engine platform
First 2.0L 82mm Engine runing 2bar boost@8350rpm, 563hp
500+hp with stock manifold
500+hp Stock cams (TI cam settings)
3.5inch exhaust systems.
GTX and Billet turbo debut's
Push type single plate clutch kit (450lbs rating)
Oem ecu management,
BC coilovers
925cc injectors
TI high flow fuel rails
TI large throttle body
TI 44mm & 38mm, T25 to T3 wastegate adapters.
400ltr in tank pumps.
Tigart manifold debut

and more........ wink

The way things are progressing, we will be looking at 10 500+hp Coupes by the end of year and a couple of 600+hp formats. laugh

I'm pretty sure this forum is the only one dedicated to the fiat coupe in the whole of the UK, google fiat coupe forum and fccuk turns up, not that hard to find if you are interested in the fiat coupe. With help of the great press as stated above I'm sure there will be more people searching " fiat coupe forum " in the future.

Well done girls guys wink

Purely an observational point... I did not realise there were only 220 broomy 'Grale's - most of the Evo's I have seen are either red or yellow.

Snapped in Maranello 2 weeks ago:

Were the red ones limited in number too, out of interest?

There were 220 yellow evo 2's (my mate has one) there were a limited number of yellow evo 1's which were a different (actually a ferrari) yellow.
I beleive Red, blue and white evo 2's weren't limited in number but I dont know how many we're produced,official german cars were badged sedici and official uk cars were badged monte Carlo as far as I am aware, again these are limited in number.

The car in the photo is an evo 1, don't know if it's an official yellow one? Lots have been resprayed.
