Well, very different application for me-installed it in my Jaguar XJR-but I got the only one on the market, a Quaife helical deal. Little different (not clutch based) but it's been transformative; I can only imagine the effect would be similar on the Abarth.

Yeah, can't spend rent money on mods. Love that a VW parts guy has an Abarth, [insert joke about VW vs Fiat reliability here].

Let's at least stick to combustion turbines-or is that what that used?

Oh sweet jesus that scares me. What engines are those?

Took my Jag XJ to the corner independent mechanic for an oil change. Returned while they were finishing up and wandered over to the guy working on it, who tells me how 'it's basically just a dressed up Crown Victoria'.

May have come with low rolling resistance tires, and it has a high torque combo of engines; could be an issue.

I know, I can't believe they left the seats on it. Amazing.

Some programming dropped the 0-60 time by a second and half? I assume that's with the stickier tires too...but regardless, holy crap.

You’ll never want to sell it afterwards :-)

Mechanical LSD available from the factory? Bless you, GM.

1-Yes, exactly

Three twin supercharged engines? Jesus.

Non-rust belt only. If you see any salt on your roads, these will be rusting by now, which is a shame, as they are a blast to drive.

Ditto

I am kicking myself at a few suggestions here though-the new Ford GT will appreciate, I'm sure. Hadn't realize that many XLRs were built though!


The GXPs are still going for 30+. You don't need a big following to staunch depreciation.

Yeah, that's tough mileage to deal with if you are driving it daily.

Being sold in dealerships as new today? The LFA doesn't count either, but the Viper is being sold new right now, so I think we can count that. The 1M finished manufacturing three years ago now-even before the LFA.


God, I just looked up their fuel economy. How can it be that bad?! It's (slightly) worse than my XJR-and that damn thing is 11 years old and supercharged!

Yes, but they aren't new.
