The extra power might put it in a different class though. Who knows, maybe a new Spec Abarth class.

Our local Fiat dealer brought a regular 500 last summer for us to race. I didn't get to drive it, though. It didn't look particularly sketchy, so I was surprised SCCA made the ruling.
I'm hoping the Abarth isn't banned as I think it's a neat car & I would like to get some seat time in one. An Abarth-specific class would be awesome.
