I share your enthusiasm for the appearance of the Alfa Mito. It's a great looking car. But it is also one of the most evil handling bodies that I've ever had the misfortune of using.

The Abarth is another one of those bodies that look great, but is not the easiest body to set up a car with. Not seen very often in racing around here.
I've driven the 1:1 Abarth, it's a hoot to drive and feels faster than the Mini Cooper S, even though it's slower. It has a lot of body roll due to the high roofline, which makes for a spirited driving experience. That's what fools you into thinking it's fast lol

I'm a vintage car lover and use the m chassis to live out my vintage car racing fantasy. My signature body is the Alfa GTA, and back ups are the Abarth 1000 and Alpine A110 using M06 Pro.
