If I don't drive the Abarth for a couple of days I start to get withdrawl symptoms. First car I've had in years that I just want to get into and drive!

This is a standing start, I didn't nail the throttle till about 10mph, so you could do it quicker. You'll here 2 gear changes, both done automatically by the Selespeed at the Redline.

Now I've always though fiats official o-62 of 8.5 sec for the three door is a little conservative but 6 dead is Alfa 147 GTA territory. So is your car modded in any way? I don't mean to cause any offense by this question, I'm just intrigued.
