Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?

PROMETEOOILCAP1_1024x1024.jpg


So my oil change is coming up so I decided to get some oil for the Abarth, Euro spec Motul as well as some engine bling, billet oil cap (made in Italy), so it ties into the Italian made parts for my car recently. I have one more Mann oil filter, so I need to order another one so I have one in stock, back to the "European oil change" in about 1200 miles when it hits 50K.
 
I decided to take my K&N filter filter out and clean it with the K&N filter cleaner as well as CG's All Clean, the later I let sit a little longer. Once the majority of the water ran out I shook it and now have the hairdryer blowing air into the large opening so I can oil it, reinstall it and let it sit over night.

These just don't translate to pics but hopefully you kinda get the point. The best way I describe the finish on my car is FLUID, let me try and explain. First off the paint looks wett and I know that's cliche to say but it's true. Finally the metallic in the paint appears to be alive and moving, like an organism!

I thought this was a pretty cool pic, kinda hard to snap the pic while doing 44 mph but 44444 and 4:44 is close enough, even the temp had a 4 in it. I was on my way to AutoZone to get some brake fluid and grease for the upcoming brake job on my wife's car this Sunday. I'm in their rewards program so I needed to spend another $10.00 so I bought Meg's Mirror Brite wheel cleaner ($3.00 off...$6.99) and some Bleache White tire cleaner, consumables are always a good idea!

I haven't dyno'd it but others with the same mods are putting down about 200 whp. Bone stock they are "rated" at 160/170 but on the rollers it's more like 155/165 to the wheels, slightly underated.

For the record I have the following mods:

-500Madness MaxPower 93 octane piggy back
-500Madness lightened crank pulley
-Euro Compulsion V2 SRI (short ram intake)
-Euro Compulsion ram air pipe
-MPx axle-back
-MPx ported TB
-Nue-F engine mount
-Nue 28 mm rear bar
-ATM FMIC
-"mystery" front chassis bar

Damn. That's a hell of a power-to-weight ratio. Very cool!

Imagine 250/280 whp in one of these! A guy in the UK called StefAb has one and it needed a new clutch right out of the box because it exceeded the 225 hp the clutch is able to handle. It now has a clutch that can easily handle the 250 hp
