    I really like the Punto Abarth, looks like it could out handle and over power the 500. On the other hand tho it is heavier??

    500 Abarth. You can pretty much chip them to 200hp these days without that much expense, and if you swap the turbo for the same one as the Punto, then you've got exactly the same engine and can have the same power output but in a lighter car.

    Handling wise I'm not so sure, but the 500 Essesse convertible on TG the other night managed to outrun and outhandle even a Clio 197, so it can't be that bad tbh.

    Matt, just remember who was driving that Clio at the time. I'm not one to support the like of the French, but I've seen May's driving in real life.
