Abarth Quarter Mile Times

Draggin

First visit to the 1320 with the Abarth. Cordova in Illinois. Got in a handful of runs this afternoon and it was pretty consistent. Was hoping it’d go a bit quicker though, and I’m not happy at all with my 60ft’s, which is part of the problem. Car was in full street trim with stock 16″ wheels & tires.

Best time of the day was 14.651 @ 94.56mph and 14.717 @ 95.17 had the highest mph. Full slip and relevant mod list below.

Feelin’ Dirty

I’ve owned Cavaliers since 1997. That’s my high school days! I still own two of them today. My 1992 Z24 was purchased in ’98 and my 1994 Z24 acquired in ’03. I used to run the biggest site on the net for the 2nd gen Cavaliers, v6z24.com, until selling the site in recent years.

I’ve continued to organize a yearly “bash” for members of the site together.  This is the 11th annual event, and the first year that I’ll be attending sans-Cavalier. Unfortunately neither of my J-Body beasts were up for making the trip this year. Scandalous, I know.

Here’s the little Abarth nestled in amongst some bigger little cars.

Forgot to take a photo of the ODO right after purchase.  This is about 60 miles later

KC Bound

The Abarth’s first road trip comes the next day.  It’s a Kansas City Chiefs are at home this Sunday, and I’m a photographer for all their games.  Looks like rain today.
