Off the line you should be ok. Once rolling it could be quite a bit tighter.

If it is a genuine 190bhp then it will be far from a slow car and will quite possibly suprise you. Looks like a roller skate but a well tuned one is a quick car.

A genuine 190bhp RST more often than not can keep up with or do your average Stg1 Cossie.

I know for a fact a R5GTT with similar power can piss on them.

Youl have him top end for deffo, but from a 30mph or so rolling start ive seen RSTs and GTTs keep up or pull away to well over 100mph, and really, thats a win.

Id be a bit worried about the punto if its genuine, you may, you may not, no harm in trying.
