2013 was the last of the 'good ones' I gather. Apparently Abarth was skirting the emissions rules with the sport button, but then CARB caught on and they could no longer use the Magneti Marelli sourced ECU. So tuning a 2014+ is hellish.

Mine is lightly modified with an ATP 3 downpipe and high-flow 200-cell cat, EC V4.1 intake, Forge FMIC, GFB DV+, 4C coils and Brisk silver racing plugs, ported TB, an E+D phase 2 tune, wilwood brakes, and a full Bilstein B14 coilover set. There's also the rear seat delete and a strict weight loss plan which bring it to roughly 2100lbs.

It makes north of 200hp, which is good for mugging other cars you'd never expect - and that's always good for a laugh. :)

I flog the hell out of the thing and it's been flawless, and it's about as close as you can get to a sportbike and still have doors... And still be cheap enough to essentially be disposable.

Overall I'm of the opinion that if you've got $18k laying around, it's hard to go wrong with an Italian Shelby. ;)

We have been kinda lucky this winter.
They calling for some accumulation on Saturday.

My DD is Germarican.

2011 Ford Focus Titanium Hatch with the 1.6 EcoBoost good for 182hp

Very nimble and already good power.

I keep getting told my priorities are mixed up? My 370 is the daily driver, and sits outside. It does have snow tires on spare set of Rays works fine for me. My only complaint is having to spray all the window rubbers every single day with silicone spray to keep them from freezing if there will be any precipitation.

In the Garage sits my Jeep (Build up here):

Which I actually just spent the summer finally restoring, as she was finally showing her age, so it's actually red now, and these are my "small" street tires (and a picture taken before everything was fully assembled):

The Jeep is sharing the garage with a few other warm weather toys too:

And my kart track toy:
