Just on a whim, I was pootling around in one of my current favorite cars in F3, my Fiat 500 Abarth, heavily modified, fully race spec’d out, this little beast has 386 HP, 339 TQ, and weighs a svelte 2,052 Lbs, oh, and I also changed it to rear-wheel-drive…
It’s a little beast for sure…
So, on a whim, I decided to challenge myself, I went to the Sedona Raceway’s oval track, and entered it in an event, wondering what the CPU would place me against…
From first to last;
1; Chevy Corvette Grand Sport (436 HP)
2; Dodge Viper SRT-10 (500 HP)
3; Ford GT-40 Mk II (485 HP)
4; Ford GT (550 HP)
5; Dodge Viper GTS ACR (460 HP)
6; Fiat 500 Abarth (me) (386 HP)
7; Lamborghini Gallardo (500 HP)
8; Corvette Z06 (425 HP)
Needless to say, the tiny little Fiat felt quite out of place in that crowd of growling supercars, oh well, might as well give it a try…
My opponents had the advantage on the straighter parts of the track, but it was in the corners that my nimble, flickable little Fiat was able to make up some ground, for the most part, I was jockeying between 3rd and 4th place, and given the caliber of my competitors, I was impressed by the fighting spirit in that little Fiat, I was expecting to come in dead last, but it turns out I came in 4th, just riding the bumper of the Ford GT and GT-40 that were my nemesis for the full 9 lap race
It was absolutely hillarious watching this tiny Fiat hold off the advances of the Ford GT Twins and nip at the bumper of the Dodge Vipers…
I guess Yoda put it best when he said;
“Size matters not, judge me by my size, do you?”
The final results were;
1; Corvette Grand Sport
2; Lamborghini Gallardo
3; Dodge Viper SRT-10
4; Fiat 500 Abarth
5; Ford GT
6; Corvette Z06
7; Ford GT-40
8; Dodge Viper GTS ACR
I would have gotten 3rd if only that frakking Ford GT didn’t bumper-tag me at the last minute, causing me to have to recover from a slide
I’ve saved the replay on my Forza 3 storefront, my Gamertag is MacTechG4, and the filename is “Sizemattersnot”
