The positive though is the shifter is angled so it may provide relief from the awkward center design by possibly giving you positive grip on the shift.

Yea pedal placement is ideal. A couple things I don't like however, my right knee rubs up against the shifter column and gets irritated on longer rides. Also, as you mentioned, the armrest is very small and doesnt provide much support. Other than that, its a comfy ride. Suspension absorbs a lot.

The clutch is also the lightest I have ever driven. You can barely feel it, which I imagine would make it difficult for newer drivers. I have a c5 z06, and I must say, it would be easier to teach someone how to drive the z06 vs the abarth.

Thanks Econ. Now I know I'm not teh ghey for wanting one of these. I think they look like a crap load of fun.
Now all you need is that model in the Charlie Sheen commercial.

Hate to break it to you but you're a flaming ghey for wanting one.

This is right up there with the Bettle Turbo on the ghey scale.
