Aint shocked by the overpricing tbh..

TBH its not the pricing that bothers me, as the prices look about right if you were to buy those items off the shelf - it's more that they lock you into buying the complete kit..

The similar Fiesta Mountune and Corsa VXR 888 schemes allow you to purchase the seperate items that you want, when you want.

Yea i know what you mean, like you should be able to buy part by part if you even want the whole kit, personally i wouldnt even want the alloys that come with it, i guess like you was saying you can sell them but still
 
yea, but disregarding the essesse kit pricing, even the 'standard' abarth is gonna be the model to have in either the 500 or gp range - will wipe the floor with the rest of the range...thank f*** im waiting :D
 
It wont wipe the floor with a tuned GPS..


possibly not in outright performance, but then we're into the realms of non-standard cars and expense again arent we? ....i was speaking more as a complete package, of looks, handling, desirability etc. out of tuned GPS or standard 500/GP Abarth, as a whole package, i know which one i would choose.

Throw in a few bends and you will be eating your words. From the vids I've seen it looks like its got an independant mcphearson strut rear suspension to match the front which enables it to handle like super glue to skin :slayer:.

As apposed to the crappy fixed torsion beam rear suspension on the GPS.
 
Same torsion on the Abarth Chris ;)

And even so, it grips the road unbelievably well - I believe they measured 1G plus lateral!

As for tuned GPSs...no comment. A tuned truck can perhaps go even faster?

To stay on topic...

I find the price a bit high myself - but the kit realy consists of some jummy goods!

As I said 'By the looks of the video' :p. But yes it handles muuuuch better I wonder what they have actually done to the suspension? :)
