turboHLS30 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I would buy one to put an intercooled turbo Hayabusa motor in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Why don't they sell 'hot hatches' in the states? I would drive the crap out of a Fiat 500 Abarth Edited July 16, 2010 by FlatBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two80z4me Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 because this is america, if your car has under 2Liters your obviously either liberal, or worthless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I was thinking more of a Daily Driver. Zip around town in a 5 speed, 200HP, 2000 lbs car. It would be really fun, and all the gas money you save could go into Z parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be really fun, and all the gas money you save could go into Z parts. This would only be profitable (or a break even situation) if someone GAVE you the hayabusa powered smart.

I was talking about the Fiat. Also, those numbers are arbitrary, I was just guessing. I guess it's 170 HP. And they're bringing them here?? That could be cool http://fiat500usa.blogspot.com/2010/02/fiat-500-launch-dates.html Edited July 16, 2010 by FlatBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k1evo2 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Why don't they sell 'hot hatches' in the states? I would drive the crap out of a Fiat 500 Abarth well last i heard they are looking to bring the fiat 500 to the states. give it a year or two. with the whole downturn of the economy to bail out the "big three", fiat had something to do with it for saving them. so yeah expect to see them in the states soon enough.

19762802+2 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I sat in an Electric Smart car once, they are pretty roomy for being so small and I'm about 6 Foot. I would totally buy one someday, just for the heck of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would totally buy one someday, just for the heck of it. Then put a Hayabusa motor in it right?? Or maybe a SBC??? Or even a 7.3 Diesel with a T76 turbo???

datsun280zx Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Kinda off topic but i think it would be pretty funny to buy a prius and swap a v8 with a quiet exhuast lol pretty cool sleeper i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine flooring it and having it billowing out smoke all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woj Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I was thinking more of a Daily Driver. Zip around town in a 5 speed, 200HP, 2000 lbs car. It would be really fun, and all the gas money you save could go into Z parts. You can actually already do this: As a bonus, it is a 6 speed, re-sells quite well, and was built to be a sports car (ie it isn't as tall as it is wide and/or long).
