2012 Fiat 500 Abarth- Only 10,887mi. Fastest Bolt-on Fiat On The Road on 2040-cars
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
|
I am selling my Abarth because I hate to see it sitting around. This vehicle was primarily owned by my older brother, he is an avid car enthusiast. I am a certified automotive technician and thus I preformed all the labor and modifications per all manufacturers' specifications. The wheels and tires were mounted elsewhere, as my shop does not have tire mounting and balancing equipment.
This Fiat Abarth is highly modified with astonishing power, handling and reliability alike. The equal length half-shafts provide equal power transfer to the road; this eliminates the common torque steer problem found in most high performance FWD vehicles. This car is very fast, it is road worthy, but it wouldn't take much work by the new owner to bring it up to competition track standards. The original manufacturer's warranty still stands.
The following is a list of modifications performed:
EXTERIOR: -All chrome trim painted body color (door handles, rear hatch handle) -Lester carbon fiber front badge -Rear badge shaved/filled -Rear windshield wiper delete -Autoplus Japan carbon fiber roof spoiler -35% tint -Scorpion badges removed from fenders -OEM 500t tinted headlights, taillights & turn signals (OEM European Models) -500madness.com 4500k HID kit INTERIOR:
-Seamless rear seat delete -Neu-f short shift adapter
SUSPENSION/BRAKES: -Kw v1 coilovers (includes tool kit) -Rrm tubular chassis braces -Nue-f front sway bar (adjustable) -Nue-f rear torsion bar -RRM brake pads
(Additional set of pads included) PERFORMANCE:
-Magnetti Merreli Piggyback ECU with remote (Includes both stock 87 & 91/93 octane tune) -ATM cold air intake (no puddle-sucking) -ATM intercooler -RRM exhaust WHEELS:
16x8.5 CCW LM12 in gunmetal w/brushed lips
Freshly polished (OE wheels and tired included) I have averaged 27-28 MPG average using the high performance tune and 93 octane fuel. |

Fiat Chrysler dumped 40,000 unordered vehicles on dealers
Thu, Nov 14 2019In a move that echoes recent history, Fiat Chrysler has been making more cars and trucks than dealers in the U.S. are willing to accept, with Bloomberg reporting that at one point the automaker had built up a glut of around 40,000 unordered vehicles. That’s led some dealers to accuse FCA of reviving the dreaded “sales bank” accounting practice of obscuring inventory to improve the balance sheet. The company reportedly began building up its inventory of unordered cars this summer despite an industrywide slowdown in sales and an eagerness by some dealers to thin their inventories because rising interest rates are making it more expensive to hold unsold cars. The inventory build-up also coincided with Fiat ChryslerÂ’s efforts to find a merger partner, first with Renault, which fell through, then last monthÂ’s announcement that it will merge with FranceÂ’s PSA Group. FCA denies any such scheme and tells Bloomberg the rising inventory is down to a new predictive analytics system designed to better square supply with demand from dealers that is helping the company save money and narrow the numbers of unsold vehicles. The company recently agreed to pay a $40 million civil penalty to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle a complaint that it paid dealers to report fake sales figures over a span of five years. While no one is suggesting that FCA is in dire financial straits — the company saw higher than expected earnings in the third quarter and record profits in North America — the practice has strong historical precedent by Chrysler, which built up bloated inventories in the run-up to its two federal bailouts, in 1980 and 2009. It was also common at GM and Ford during the 2000s, when all three Detroit automakers struggled with excess manufacturing capacity and plummeting sales in the lead-up to the Great Recession. Back in 2012, CFO Magazine wrote about a report that explained automakersÂ’ rationale for the practice and how it works: Say fixed costs for a given factory are $100, and that the factory can make 50 cars. Consumers, however, demand only 10. Under absorption costing, if the company makes all 50 cars, its cost-per-car is $2. If it makes only up to demand, or 10 cars, the cost-per-car is $10. Although each car adds variable costs for steel and other parts, if those costs are low, the company still has an incentive to make more cars to keep the cost-per-car down.
Pentastar Power: A look inside the Detroit factory that pumps out FCA's potent V6
Tue, Mar 14 2017The Mack Avenue Engine Plant is one of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' most historic and prolific factories. It pumped out 260,000 Pentastar V6 engines last year, providing power for everything from the Jeep Grand Cherokee to the Dodge Challenger. FCA and its predecessor, Chrysler, has owned the factory since 1953 and it briefly built the Dodge Viper in the 1990s. It's made engines since 1998 and began building the Pentastar in 2014. We got an inside look at the mighty Mack, helping to tear down a Pentastar engine and then a tour of the factory floor. This is what it's like.

The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum?
