I think that u will keep it, the power of that standard is 220. Thats 55bhp less than a scooby sti. Those engines can go up to 565 or 576 bhp max but that would cost truck loads of the green. But what I liked was the sound of the engine and the high revs. I think u will want to keep her once u get into the tuning side. And also having Ferrari looks to boot ya cant go wrong.

Who told u that? I have had 2 coupes both 20v's and one of those was a turbo like Steves. I had no problem with mine and i was told from a guy on the fiat coupe forum that the stock manifolds were good up to 320 then u would have to swap over to a stainless supersprint for more power gains. And those manifolds are made very well, i never had any probs with mine.

Check Wikipedia if ya want to see all facts-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Coupe I have owned 2 coupes and given a chance I would have another.
