Are you keeping the fiat or not. I'm not coming to Sebring unless I'm running the fiat. Get your parts on the car already and stop making excuses.

And you whine about my stock Turbo's, wait until you see the TTU topspeed car that still puts 5-6 bus lengths on my car. It will suck that Ferrari red right off the fiat.

Better step your game up.

Rad's diffuser works just fine and creates more downforce than we could imagine. Is Schumacher gives the thumbs up on their own test track, then I'm sure it's enough

Scuderia at 125mph. 0 downforce front and 4Kg of lift at the rear axle with diffuser and all.

458 Italia, 31 Kg of rear downforce at the same 125mph.

I'm fixing the Scuderia the ALMS/Grand-Am/LeMans/FIA-GT3 way.

I guess buying Fiat parts is easier.

If TopSpeed has a TTU car that pulls 5-6 buses on your 512 whp Turbo Beetle, very likely they are outside TTU power/weight ratio.

Sebring eats cars, this ain't Roebling, RA, AMP, or any of the momentum tracks in Georgia, only the fit prevails. It bit my Fiat in a very hot and humid day, it has eaten many Aero Beetles and October is going to be hot and humid. Bring a spare engine, you're gonna need it.

rFactor and iRacing ain't gonna cut it.
