500 Abarth » Trips http://www.4barth.com Ms. Moon's 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth Tue, 29 Oct 2024 02:54:00 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.39 Draggin http://www.4barth.com/draggin/ http://www.4barth.com/draggin/#comments Mon, 22 Sep 2014 01:45:43 +0000 http://www.4barth.com/?p=261 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.

14.651 @ 94.56 14.717 @ 95.17

Happened while cruising through Ledges State Park. Well, trying to cruise through anyway. Most of the roads are currently closed due to flooding.

In the parking lot, after already being cleaned off at least once. Still coming down.

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
