Yup, that's what it'll do. Is it an APC moderated turbo? Are you ready for the upgrades - see http://www.trentsaab.co.uk If you get the timing just right on overtaking, you can hold in the broken white zone while accelerating up behind your victim and then let the turbo loose once you're about level with their rear bumper. They'll see you approaching behind them and wonder where the hell you've gone until they realise you're a speck on the horizon :) There was a wonderful quote from AutoWeek about the 1984 SPG, which will be pretty similar to yours: "Potential victims will take one look in the mirrors and know, flat know, what is about to happen to them" -AutoWeek Do pick on big cars though. I've got another Punto (16V Sporting - old shape) and I'd forgotten how big cars bully smaller cars - mine goes like a firework though, so the bullies get surprised.
