Stock vs stock not much slower.
My niece was getting in trouble with the JCW and I traded it for the Abarth to punish her.
Jcw vs Abarth the Jcw is a much better car but much more expensive. Dollar and performance wise the Abarth compares well to a Cooper S.
Will have some 18x8 ccw's running 225/35/18s, Bc coilovers , Ecu tune ,larger turbo and down pipe on the Abarth tuesday.
Stock the Abarth put down 168whp on a dynojet. Jcw did 193 whp stock on same dyno and in most recent state of tune 276whp.

The Jcw was one of my cars and will miss it. I let her drive it to High School and to work. Traded because mini was about to lose warranty and was too fast , busted her going 150+ on the interstate.

Now, on to the more important thing...how awesome does the Abarth exhaust sound? I've gotten to hear it at full roar in a tunnel and I was blown away. Might be a mouse but it roars like a lion.

This is so ironic! I was looking into buying your car in April at the dealership that had it. I ended up with a JCW from Daytona, but too crazy

I'm driving a new Fiat 500 (rental car) until my '14 Roadster S arrives from England.
The Fiat drives nicely, but certainly isn't as quick as the Roadster and Convertible S models I test drove. I only use half a parking space. All in all, it's a fun little car to drive. I like the Fiat 500, but MINI has the looks and performance for me, hands down. Something about the Fiat .... it feels like it's missing a "Save the Whales" or "Co-Exist" or "Peace" bumper sticker.

i'm confused...so she was driving your car too fast, and instead of not letting her drive it, you got another (reltively) fast car and then modded it no less, with the intent of letting her drive it?
Now, on to the more important thing...how awesome does the abarth exhaust sound? I've gotten to hear it at full roar in a tunnel and i was blown away. Might be a mouse but it roars like a lion.
