I will still take a yaris over a Abarth any day

Are both cars prepared equally?
Is the same person driving both cars?

This is poor comparison. The driver has more impact than anything else in Solo. A newbie in a shinny new Z06 Corvette could get beat by a Yaris, it means nothing unless all things are equal.

The Yaris should not be compared to an Abarth, it is much more similar to the standard 500. Same course, same driver, same level of car prep: the Yaris will beat the 500, but the Abarth will beat the Yaris.
