Close Call in BIG TURBO Abarth 595! // Nürburgring

Misha, what an experience honestly can not thank you enough. Drove the hell out of the car and the video doesn’t do it justice! Yes I look and sound like a melt, I hate being on camera but oh well 😂 I wish the suspension would have been stiffer, it would have been perfect. Loved every second either way. Thanks again 🙏

[@vittoriobencivenga]

to everyone saying that the t-jet engine is not worth it I'm just going to let you know that people here in Italy are regularly pushing over 350hp and more rarely but still commonly-ish pushing 500 horsepower, with the quickest 500 Abarth having 497 horsepower doing 60-130mph in almost 6 sec flat (a lambo huracan does it in 6.5), while the highest hp one in Italy having a Frankenstein 2L block (stock is 1.4L precisely 1.364) and 542hp, keep in mind depending on the spec they weigh anywhere from just below 1990lbs to 2200lbs and they are all FWD with an optional race spec sequential gearbox

[@Vic13thRacing]

That is a far better representation of what this platform is like with a little fettling. Glad you enjoyed, glad Jack's car got a spot in the limelight(its one of the nicer ones, as you said Misha). The Yellowspeed Racing coilover kit is sprung and damped almost entirely with road use in mind; like all other off the shelf coilover kits for these cars. Few to none of these kits have adjustable top mounts either, so there is quite a bit that can be done to the suspension in terms of geometry, damping, springrates etc. to have them come alive on track. Hopefully I'll get an opportunity one of these days to put my money where my mouth is and throw you the keys to a car with all that knowledge put to use.

[@d333my]

I loved mine for the 5 years of ownership - more reliable than the 2 German cars that followed it. One thing though- stripping out the back to save weight is good, but with already front end heavy the back end benefits from a crate or 2 of water for balance. They handle so much better then.

[@TrojanRabbit521]

I’m one of the few Americans who loved my little Fiat. My 1st hot hatch and it was fun modding myself. I just used lowering springs and piggyback ECU from Madness. I normally go for lightweight RWD ie MX5, Fierro GT & 240sx with a few Mustang & Camaro thrown in. I’m surprised how much I miss my Scorpion.

The A pillar on these is the real killer. So hard to drive this on mountain roads

[@progammler]

tell me which car doesnt have bridge pillar sized a-pillars? And if it's not the pillar then the gigantic mirrors block the view...

[@AIRDRAC]

@@progammler Just gotta go old enough, and it's not an issues at all ;) Any car from the mid-80s or earlier have next to no rollover protection -> very slim A-pillars ;) If you want to not die in a rollover, AND have a good view, find an old Saab 900 or Volvo 240 - they have reinforced A-pillars, that are still fairly slim, and the Saab even has a curved windshield, further helping visibility ;)

[@progammler]

@AIRDRAC oh I was talking about new cars! I have a great view in a BMW e30 or in the VW 181 where I can even fold the windshield down... But BMW F3x or G2x for example are terrible. (not as bad as VW Golf though xD) I guess it's not only rollover protection but also the airbag. I'd rather avoid a crash by being able to observe my surroundings, but most people seem to think otherwise in their gigantic SUVs and similar monstrosities and keep collecting bikers on their hoods.

[@AIRDRAC]

@@progammler ah, I see, yeah it's hard to find modern cars with good visibility around the A-pillar! Not to mention C-pillars that can hide a bus! I don't think anyone have airbags in the A-pillar itself, they usually deploy either from the ceiling, B-pillar, or the side bolsters of the seats. But rollover protection, combined with the fact that modern cars are nearly twice as heavy as their 80's equivalents has led to chunky A- and C-pillars to compensate :)

[@sarahdell4042]

@@progammler Not all new cars are terrible in regards to visibility. The A pillar in these Abarth, at least on a LHD model is brutal. Not to mention the rear view mirror, and crazy blind spots. I bought a new one when they came out in 2012? Sold it almost instantly.

Why is it that people can't at least throw some fuel in their cars before going on the Ring? Half a tank, if you're scared the weight is not gonna help you perform. It definitely looked like the car was losing power there towards the end, either heat or low fuel.

[@manuelventura3799]

What? People go with almost empty tanks all the time for weight savings, I don't think that's right, wouldn't the boost just go out through the exhaust normally? Now with even less strain because there is no goddam explosion inside the cylinder?
