I think hybrids are a bit half-assed anyway. The only reason human kind is still fucking with combustion engines is because of money. We have the technology and potential for technology to get away from this bronze age combustion nonsense, but we just... don't. A hybrid is just a step away from that (albeit in the right direction), but screw that. If you're going to go environmentally friendly, just go all the way with fully-electric and stop pu$$yfooting with all this "hybrid" fuckery.[/rant]
I got my car for handling. If it suddenly starts getting 1mpg tomorrow, well then... LOL! Will still drive it.

Haha true that! We didn't get our cars to have it turn into a Prius halfway. Plus, you can't have a Rocket Bunny FR-S looking all exotic but sounding like a Prius
If they move the battery and some fluids to the back I'm sure it can achieve a closer 50/50 weight distribution.
If they can make this car with Honda S2K power while still being NA, it would be perfect. The S2K dynos in at about 200WHP stock and we have to go headers and everything just to barely squeeze out 200WHP is kinda lame
Like I said though, even if we don't get the upgrades I'm looking for, aftermarket is strong for this car and there's lot of potential.
