That Fiat is awesome.

Street car or track only? Either way it's badass.

I am just learning how to use the web. I do mostly drag car build up. But after i found this site i like the idea of a light car with handling like the lotus 7. im in the process of building a retro modern super 7 like my avatar. Base on the 442 frame with a 302 ford,5 speed.O by the way the spec. on the Fiat are 8.8 rear end shorten to 45", strange 4 link, w/ wish bone locator stock s 2000, 6 speed, 15x10 rear,26"x 10.5 tires, 13x 3.5 rims , front skinnies.I try to post some pictures of the tube chassis some time this week

Ahhh...reminds me of my first car...a Fiat 600 Topolino. Fun, cheap, with suicide doors and a very slippy clutch. It was immortalized at Vancouver's "Expo '86", where it was painted white & mounted on a huge berm with similarly-painted cars, motorcycles, helicopters etc. (the theme was transportation). I'd lost track of the car 10 years before...when I found it on the berm it still had my plates on it :-)
