500 is in the Spec B category with Rio, Yaris, Versa, Mini, Sonic, etc. as far as I can tell but yes there was some initial issues with not meeting rollover criteria. I don't believe Abarth has been classified by SCCA just yet as it is so new. However, Abarth is lower and has a beefed up suspension out of the box which should help. The extra power might put it in a different class though. Who knows, maybe a new Spec Abarth class.
