CVT - I LOLed. Wait, I LOLed again.

This is a fucking disgrace. I hate my nanny continent of socialistic welfare. I hate it. I hate it.

Drop the catalytic converter, upgrade your IC and injectors, get it mapped. Without any hardware mods this engine is capable of 190 HP and around 220 lb/ft. Driving it without a Quaife LSD will not make any sense, however. And the manual gearboxes are a weak point as well.

By the way - in the not-so-very-sportive parts of Europe people tend to take this car just as not seriously ;) http://marekdrives.kinja.com/fiat-500l-pret…

Regarding 500 Abarth - you can flash/intake/exhaust it to around 200 HP, goes up to 220 if fitted with big IC and injectors.

No, no - the 180HP kit is available for Abarth Punto only, which is a different car:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get a 500L Abarth at some point. If it's half as insane as the 500 Abarth, and if it has more power, better steering and a tighter manual, it would be something Jalops everywhere should consider taking their kids to school in.

SExpandThe 500L does pretty well in this department. It comes standard with Chrysler's UConnect 5.0 system on all trim levels, and the more feature-y UConnect 6.5 system is available on the upper models. Both include a touch screen display (5 or 6.5 inches, respectively) with Bluetooth connectivity, text message…

One engine is available on the Fiat 500L, and that's a 1.4-liter MultiAir SOHC turbo four-cylinder motor that puts out 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It's the same engine that's in the kickass Fiat 500 Abarth, The World's Loudest And Angriest Little Car®, and while it doesn't deliver the same noise —…

I used to have a 1987 GT (a rarity in Europe) and I'm really quite pleased the t-tops are considered rare was well - mine had 'em. Quite obviously, while the V6 had enough low-down torque to do a proper burnout - especially when the N-th attempt to engine rebuild resulted in 3.1 litre conversion - I have always…

Cobra kit car it is.
It's beautiful enough and still, it can be equipped with some lazy V8 - all the sound, less power, so safe for an elderly gentleman. And a kit car means you can spend countless and priceless hours building it with your old man.

Well, you wouldn't park, if we're precise. Well, maybe the twin-clutch is easier than the sequential, however it is a damn hard car to park. Also, not very good in a city. Also, not very good when it rained a bit, since it's got an excess of 700 HP (I once drove a one-off 900 HP version) sent to the rear tires without…

"I have to have some crazy Swedish ass."

LOL, this is brilliant.

Should have hired this guys for the job.

Creating this monstrosity should be considered a crime.

However it is Mansory who sell a real lot of them.

This made me search ebay for old Thunderbirds IMMEDIATELY.
