not that im aware of.

you havent really got to worry too much about the rev limiter/ss thing, unless you rag the plums off it i wouldntve thought youre gonna exceed the 60,000msecs/1 minute limit.

From experience it depends on how you want the car to behave later in life.
I found two indentical fiat engines that were completly different. Both with 3000 miles on, one driven by me about 10 miles a day and not really treated that hard and one driven by Mr Vosper who did alot of motorway miles and drives quite hard.
When I drove both cars I found that one driven by Mr Vosper was a lot quicker and more responsive.
My suggestion is dont treat with kid gloves in its early life or it may run in to be a slower car.

You have to give it a good thrasing at least once a week, take advantage of cheap fuel while you can...

hahaha cheap fuel!!!!! we get screwed over soooooooo much with the price we pay! even at 89.9 thats still a stupid amount compair to say america... anyways thats another story completely.

as for treating it with kid gloves, i certainly wont be doing that if im honest with you i didnt buy the abarth to drive it like my gran

good to hear there isnt really a bedding in period! i dont do that many miles and it may take quite a few weeks to rack up say 1.5k miles! had my mjet for a year and half and only put 9.8k miles on it!!! (came with 700 on it)
