Sampling Good-Win Racing’s transformation of the Fiat 124 Spider | Articles

Despite my typical Italian car ownership experience, the Fiata has a certain charm of its own that I miss sometimes. Especially paired with the Goodwin System One exhaust, which mine also had, it’s quite possibly the best-sounding four cylinder engine of all time. And the non-Abarth body (like Goodwin’s car in the article) I think is better looking than the blacked-out angry-face Abarth. Maybe one day they’ll become collectible.

Yeah but what’s it’s lap time at the Firm?

I’ll be surprised if they don’t become collectible, even if it’s the Bring A Trailer/Cars & Bids kind of collectible.

I’m by no means a market expert, but I’d say it’s the kind of car worth buying sooner instead of later if you have an interest.

I prefer the way these look compared to the current Miata.  I’d swap the motor though.

Taking a stock 124 Spider to the FIRM isn’t a bad idea.

Anyone have one we can run? (I’m only half-joking.)

Cool.  I have always liked the Fiata.

Although $14,000 in parts feels like… a lot.

I’d probably lose all the carbon fiber aero bits and it’ll be a lot cheaper and a little more sleeper looking.

On track, the Fiata feels like…
