Really you don't understand that Fiat owned Ferrari, so their pilots were oblied to drive FCA shitboxes to fool idiots like you?
Jaxon Scott
They have to know a thing or two about how a car works, fine tuning in any motorsport isn't only about telemetry, you know?

You seriously have no clue, do you? Those guys actually love how the 500 Abarth drives, exactly like how F1 drivers loved how the original Mini drove back in the 60s/70s.
Nolan Bennett
We know you're insecure about your Fiat, bro. It's okay, we can't all own good cars. If it weren't for brave souls like you, no one would buy garbage shitboxes like Puntos, and all the manufacturers would go out of business. Thank you for your service.

I'm guessing you're paid to shitpost but then again who in their normal mind would pay someone to advertise Fiat cars on Veeky Forums.

Well, taking into account Fiat invented VVT and common-rail injection, amongst many other industry firsts, I'd say they're well off.
Clarkson always liked Fiats, too. Now that I remember. He used to praise the old Bravo and Punto GT.
Ryan Reed

Daniel Ward
Ferrari is doing wrong in F1 because they have a quite good PU but terrible aerodynamics, so is Fiat, you can't focus to one thing each, you have to well-engineer your cars entirely from engine to the fucking front bumper
Levi Anderson
It's supposed to be reminiscent of the old 500. What'd you expect? A 458 body on a 500? Nobody fucking cars about the drag coefficient on a small hot hatch. Only autistic benchracers, who can't find any other flaw to cry about, do. It's a fucking great driver's car, end of.
The level of autism Veeky Forums displays always amazes me.
Colton Rodriguez
I've seen this type of behavior before. A lot since I live in a third world shithole. Guys buy depressing, boring, soul crushing cars, the type that scream "I have no interest in anything remotely automotive", because its the only thing they can afford/buy for one reason or another. (lack of money, family obligations etc) But since they actually are somewhat into cars, they proceed to justify and defend their purchase.
"It's great/reliable/fuel efficient, It's fun, I love it, I wouldn't change it, I WONT CHANGE IT FUCK YOU"
But of course, most know that it's not true. Most of them have driven a way superior car in their lifetime. So they start defending it louder and louder.
Usually it ends when they either get some money and get an actually good car, or they loose their fucking mind and buy a bunch of old Volvos and start boosting the shit out of them (the best case).
Of course, there are some people who just haven't actually driven anything better than their shitbox of choice. And that's sad.
Anthony Green
>Nobody fucking care* about the drag coefficient on a small hot hatch
Perhaps that high drag coefficient can kill you if you take a light turn at 50 mph
Mason Allen
>He has to make a thread to try and justify buying a shitty diesel fiat
You fucked up, and bought the wrong car. Fiat diesels are shit-tier engines, unreliable as fuck.
No amount of shitposting will change the fact that YOU know fuck all about cars.

>I think my car is a race car The post. It's not unusual for race cars, be them whatever they are, to roll when they hit a gravel trap wrong. Stiff spring rates and hard rebound damping usually does that.

Angel Richardson
lol wut, it's the exact opposite you said
you're saying that 500 is good only because a bunch of reviewers said so, while the practical act (i.e. races and DD) says that 500s are fucking craps

You do realize that this is marketing, hence the marketing image you posted in the OP.
F1 drivers do not care about their DD or how it drives, why would they, they get paid to track the fastest driving, highest lateral g, quickest cornering cars that exist.
Go look up Raikkonens thoughts on the matter, he doesn't care for street cars at all, he barely knows what he DD's and hint - it's company provided.

You're asking for solid accurate proof of something which is already presumed by any mature adult who thinks about the situation for more than a minute.
Yet you would never be able to find anything backing up your farcical claims if you were asked to. >inb4 'LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYONE knows x,y, and z. They TOTALLY said they love the way the mini handled in the 60's and 70's. And f1 cars (and their drivers) have not changed AT ALL, and the fiat 500 is totally the same thing as a classic mini, it's pigfat instead of being light with no suspension, but its completely the same thing, they love the car I drive because its THAT FUCKING GOOD!
