Slow? Go and find a turbo (grey import only). 220bhp in the early form, 240bhp in the 1994 model revision onwards. If 0-60 in 5.3s and a top speed of 160+ is slow I'd love to know what you think quick is
As for Fiat coupe's, aren't they even more unreliable than Alfa's? I've heard some real horror stories about maintenance on that Fiat engine (isn't it the one out of the Lancia delta turbo?).

Sounds good, but I'm guessing the insurance is a bit of a nightmare on an import go fast model? And I can't see a mk3 import, the mk2 is a big eightees for my liking!

Mk1 was available as a 1.6 normally aspirated car (N/A) and a 1.6 supercharged version.

With a bit of searching I found ...
Current M3 - 343 bhp, kerb weight 1760 kg, 0..62 in 5.5 seconds
Mk2 MR2 turbo '94-on - 241 bhp, kerb weight up to 1015 kg, 0..60 under 5.3 seconds
The power to weight ratio says a bit, but really it would depend on the gearing.
