I guess I'm never going to win this argument seeing it's me against the whole forum... Sorry, I guess the idea of a 3000lb car with 300hp is just plain stupid and wouldn't be fun to drive at all :iono:

Sure, the idea of a 3000 pound car with 300 horsepower would be great, but if you do that you have to compromise on something else. The car couldnt be a four-seater, it couldnt have all the safety equipment and would be significantly more expensive. Porsche barely managed to make the Cayman S under 3000 pounds, and that is a car that will cost around 15,000 dollars more than the 135i. The whole point being that sure it would be great, but Im not going to write the car off because of unreal expectations. Minus luggage and driver, the vehicle still weighs ~3250 pounds which isnt Lotus-light but certainly admirable, at least in my opinion.
