A fiat 500 had me pegged all the way to the redline in 3rd!!

Almost got embarrassing... I was braver into the corner though!

This all happened on the runway at work....

**Niall** · 02-08-2013, 02:20 PM

Was it an abarth one? They are f*cking quick considering they are just a shoebox on wheels!

Midnightclub · 02-08-2013, 02:22 PM

^^ That is exactly why they are quick though, something like 155hp in something that light!

Exactly.. One in Matt grey is my guilty pleasure and they make a lovely noise!!

The exhaust on them is hilarious, the crackles on the overrun are awesome Big Grin

Yeah sean, they'll be pretty swift; about the same weight of car and more torque and better spread through the revs, so it would be bloody close. Need ITBs on now Wink

**Just Sean** · 02-08-2013, 02:42 PM

Its happening Ed!

No.

Worst kept secret!

**Piggy** · 02-08-2013, 03:13 PM

1.4 turbo...160bhp

surprised you managed to keep ahead

Dum-Dum · 02-08-2013, 03:41 PM

Yeah 135bhp for the abarth 160 for the abarth SS but iirc they are a de tuned version of the grande punto abarth ss which is 180bhp so im guessing a 200bhp remap shouldnt be too hard.

I feel quite gay admitting that i would happily own one

Dumdum, you owned a cabby. We all know how gay you are.

For a minute i was genuinely going to correct you and say he still owns a cabby. Oh how i need to keep with the times!

Dum-Dum · 02-08-2013, 04:15 PM

2 cabbys and a roadster

no 3 cabbys. THEY ARE THE SAME BLOODY CAR!!!!

**Scott** · 02-08-2013, 04:34 PM

That car was about as much a roadster as my 6 is a phase 4 lol

EFA

Toms306 · 02-08-2013, 04:37 PM

I thought roadster just meant hardtop??

And phase 4 does exist!! Things changed at X reg, they just couldn't be arsed to change the outside lol.

Dum-Dum · 02-08-2013, 04:43 PM

Nope, roadster and cabriolet are different, they are shown as such on the registration document.

**Piggy** · 02-08-2013, 04:50 PM

stop arguing...Abarths are ace. /thread

**Just Sean** · 02-08-2013, 04:57 PM

Bit not as ace as my 6!

How would I get on with an 04 civic type r?

I think it'll destroy me

Can confirm the type-R owner will be upset ninja

Dum-Dum · 02-08-2013, 05:12 PM

Yeah youll just about beat a type r but not by alot (also faster than integras)

**Scott** · 02-08-2013, 05:16 PM

We're talking up to legal speeds here by the way. From what I've read about people comparing them on drag strips/track days, the CTR will start to break away when into triple figures. Before that it's pretty damn even.

**Just Sean** · 02-08-2013, 05:22 PM

Interesting. He's got a mugen air intake or whatever. BT other than that standard. I've got bigger balls than him tho

Agreed with this ninja

Unless the type R owner gets on Vtec then the entire world id basically f*cked!

sam · 02-08-2013, 07:21 PM

**Just Sean** · 03-08-2013, 01:32 AM
