Have you taken it anywhere to have it weighed?
Dynoed?

[Fiatdude]

weighed 1450 without driver
and just over 300HP at 20# of boost

That sounds like it should be a blast to drive.

Wow.... 455hp/tonne is Carrera GT territory. Must be fun to have a micro-supercar.

Were they embarrassed to show the times for opposite lane?

Damn, now I need to go look for a Fiat 600 because that is the true definition of badass

Awesome build and great wheelstand picture.
We just did a Subaru reversed 5 speed for a Fiat 500 being built a Z cars in the U.K.
It's going to be fitted with an EJ25 EFI motor and 5 speed.

You saw this? Probably worth half of the asking price:

I saw one of those 600's in the late 60's. Blue like yours, I think, it had a modified 356/912 motor, VW trans, and ran mid 10's.

I've seen this car... it's a real heap. Easier to put a flat-4 into a 600 than it is to put one into a 500...

Back in the early '60's there was one of these in the PNW running what I was told Porsche engine and rear suspension and he was stomping a lot of poo-poo with it. I questioned the wheel base because at the time the 90" wheel base rule was in effect. Whatever it had and whatever the rules were when he rowed it down the track it sounded like an automatic with the loud pedal stuck to the floor and a lot of embarrassed V8s followed him to the finish line. Pretty cool!
