because buying a house was more important than spending the cash on a g35 which is what I wanted at the time. My protege also has slightly more torque that is available at a lower rpm and weighs almost the same as this car will so I have experience driving a car with an almost identical p/w ratio.

daily driving. It would be nice not to wind it out to 6000 rpm to feel like I'm in a sports car. A very small percentage of these cars will actually see time on the track so any justification that the car will have all the power it needs on the track is bs.

+1. I may still buy one after I drive it, but I know right now I would have a deposit down already if it had 270 HP & 220 ft-lb.
