I tottaly agree with both of you, but they are still pretty slow. The soundtrack more than makes up for it though :D

Agreed they drive well and not that slow... sounds fantastic too but could be quicker, decent power for the capacity and year though.


Just looked up the specs for my dads old fiat croma cht for comparison (89 so a year younger than my 320) 2.0 twin cam 100 bhp 8O itallian engineering eh :roll:

Has there ever been any really tuned up 320's on the zone, tubo'd / carb'd whatever. Would be interesting to hear about cuz they are pretty revvy engines.
