Had the retractable license plate holder put on the other day when I was dropping the Z off for ZDayZ prep at AAM. Jon at AAM shot these quick photos for me. Stows away nicely.
![]() The fit is good and low profile when stowed. ![]()

Jon,
As an aside, your Z looks absolutely sinister sitting in the background like that, all blacked out. Great look! Rep sent. S.

I like idea of the Abarth however these cars are more prone to roll overs in crashes due to their short wheel base and tall CG. We have seen several rollovers with New Abarths at track already.

You may have mixed up the 500 Sport with the Abarth. The Abarths have only been in the U.S. for about a month now. The 500 was available starting in March of 2011. The SCCA didn't allow the 500 as I understand it in certain categories because of their formula for roll over potential. The Abarth is lower than the 500, with beefed up suspension. They've been racing Abarths though in Europe for several years now.

Just make sure you have a good rollbar and harnesses. Examples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VztPQ...e_gdata_player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJU2v...e_gdata_player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2JNt...e_gdata_player

Just returned from ZDayZ and had a blast. The Mrs. entered the Abarth in the ZDayZ people's choice car show under the "other" category and took second place! WooHoo!
