>I think your perception of what qualifies as motoring performance is sadly lacking.

lol. I think you'd be surprised.

Mostly I'm referring to the mass-produced engine itself here, not the car. After all, we live in a world of 1000 BHP turbo LS engines stuffed into old Ford Fairmonts turning single digit quarter miles.

Having said that, at what point is there legislative pressure to limit new cars. JDM is an existing model.

If you're going to look only at the power-to-weight of the engine itself and ignore everything else needed to make a car, I look forward to the superior hydraulic engined-cars!
