The Abarth 500 has 160 hp and 170 lbs torque and is turbo'ed.
The Sprite has a far superior throttle response and my sc/cr box
makes staying up in the power band much easier.
I'd guess the Sprite would take it on a twisty track but straight line
acceleration in the Fiat is awesome. Great brakes too.
The Abarth comes with a track day instruction that I may use.
I haven't flogged a fwd since way back when I had a Civic.
I need instruction before I slide her off into the weeds.
