Why is the micra so quick up hills

[CMF_Napster]

last night was such a laugh, i NEVER RACE if it'll mean endangering lives, just to let u know.

if u remember me saying that i was going to buy a "fiat punto"?? well last night i raced the car i would have got, it was a differnet car (black in colour) but had same 1.2L engine!!
this is where the fun begins

this STEEP hill where i live is the ACTION where all my races start (kind of), ASLONG AS THER ARE NO CARS AROUND OR INFRONT!!!

anyway, ive raced a "2.0L golf", "nissan almera" and this "punto" up this hill and NO JOKE they where all racing, but yet could not keep up untill i SLOWED Down cause there was no more need to race!!

my mate has "100bhp 1.3 106 rallye" and in a straight line will ABLITORATE my 1.0L k11, but up this hill im up his rear (nearly) (he has single 8valve)

"im therefore just wondering y its so fast up hills"??

im guessing its due to the "TWIN CAM, 16valve"? any other reasons or is it just a GREAT CAR lol

Cheers

You must have a freak 1.0L because my 1.3L dies in the ass on anything resembling a slight incline.

yom: ur 1.3 dies uphills?

my second gear is LUSH uphils, it just shifts. no car has touched me up this hill yet?

on a straight they would overtake quite quickly lol, which is where ur 1.3 comes in handy lol
