@ DGB: Yeah, but yours is RED!

I love my Sport but 59 more horsepower and 72 more ft-lbs of torque is verrrry tempting.

^ Those are pretty big #'s for these things... I'd be very interested in driving one!

I had a blast in my new Abarth. I look forward to getting back up there. The THP didn't like me much though, got the pink slip to prove it.

The owner of this one was telling us they've got a factory plug-in chip that bumps it up to 200hp! Doesn't void your warranty, and if you want the factory fuel mileage, just unplug the chip and it goes back to factory (160hp) output.

@Pilote Ancien....ours isn't an Abarth though....just the plain little 100hp 500 Sport. It's still a LOT of fun on the Dragon though.

Well, red makes you an honorary Ferrari.

Civic Si power in a car this small, light, and agile is getting into Slayer territory. Fuel milage? FUEL MILAGE!?! We don't need no steenking fuel milage!!

The mileage in "Dragon mode" is still in the high 20s and when I dropped into eco mode on the way home (after Dragon) I touched the high 30s. Loving it! And yes, the 200+hp mode is coming...soon.

I just found out that it is 160hp at the wheels, not the crank!
