I drove for the very first time my modified Abarth on the legendary Imola racetrack. I reached a top speed of 190km/h (115mph) in the main straigth, sometimes i was driving too fast causing a markable understeer, but it was also caused by the stock tires that aren't really good for a track use. Video shows a couple of laps and half on track recorded with a new GoPro HD 2.

Here a list of the mods i've done on my car:

Decatted exhaust with central straight pipe and stainless steel muffler.
ECU Reflash with new turbo sensors and pierburg from the Grande Punto Abarth SS.
Full front kit Brembo brakes.
H&R spring and front/back spacers.
