Good morning Opponauts, let's celebrate Memorial day with some speed! Or at least as much speed as the little Fiat can hit on this short little runway...

I saw about 120mph. Seriously not bad.

Reminds me of my fourth year of college. I had a 2004 WRX wagon and was living in eastern Kansas. I decided to top out the car on some empty highway, late at night. Did my survey-run, checked for obstacles and blind corners and such, then turned around and pinned it. I remember getting right around 120mph when the front of the car went really loose and floaty all of the sudden. I guess that was the aerodynamic limit of a stock WRX wagon. So I'm glad to see the little Abarth can put on such an impressive show.

Well done!

Thanks! The Abarth actually should be able to do around 130, we just didn't have the room for it.

So um why again does the speedo go up to 160? Wishful thinking?
