    They aren't Abarth related but here's the other 3; interesting to note that 1 & 3 have a recently deceased father connection...

    Does it cost less if you flip it right-side-up yourself?

    Does anyone have experience with ECU tuning on these cars? What's the best one out there? MM? Does it void the warranty? How hard are they to install / remove?

    They do seem to work pretty well. Not hard to install. Check out the "eurocompulsion" website.

    Thanks. That's a good resource.

    I tinted the windows today. I'm thinking of wrapping the roof and all of the chrome trim in the same color (dark grey) as the stripe and mirrors.

    I bought a pop a few months back and just couldn't get over the lack of power. I have to go through a small mountain pass to and from work and the poor thing was puking it's guts out trying to get up and down.

    I took it back to the dealer and they gave me every penny I paid for the Pop in trade toward an Abarth. Much happier now. I've actually been neglecting driving the Ferrari and Maserati and my other cars since I got this little beast. This thing is a blast!

    It sounds like an angry little bastard! ;)

    Are any of you guys going to the free track day they offer? I heard they are going to announce the 2014 schedule in Feb.

    I never got to do the track day. I couldn't get out of work. It's not really a track day per se, though. My understanding is that they run you through a few drills and a small course NOT in sport mode. Everyone says it's a great time, but it's not a track day. I wish I would have been able to attend the one near me.
