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.
