I've also got a Twin Turbo Supra which I plan to sell. Obviously the power is nothing like the Supra but I hoping the fun factor will come from the agility. Anyone else done the similar?


Welcome :) I have gone from an RX-8 to the 135 500 and the biggest difference is going to FWD...I don't miss the power at all...the Abarth gives as much fun at a slower speed. In fact, it dares you to do things that you probably wouldn't do in a more powerful car because of its agility. The biggest suprise to me is the noise...even with the standard exhaust I haven't had the stereo on once. You will love it!

Yeah know what you mean. I'm pushing it more and more on the corners now, the Supra was always a bit of a prayer on the corners, never knowing if it'll come out or not. I did fit HSD coilvers which seriously changed things but at the end of the day it was a big car. Yeah I'm lovin the noise too. Reckon a bit louder wouldn't go a miss though  :)

Cheers Jess, I'll keep an eye out. There's some good roads up your way which I tend to go for a blast on so may see you in Thornbury.
