Don't bash the ND too much... even with a paltry 155 HP, it ought to be about as fast as the FT86, if not slightly faster. Low-end acceleration will especially favor the ND.

The anticipated curb weight (2290-2360 pounds in US trim) is primarily what makes the ND so exciting. Straight line acceleration will be reasonable, and it'll be an absolute blast to flog on back roads.

I would've preferred that they pushed redline up to 7500 and delivered 170 HP, but even without that, I'm getting an ND in ~5 years (when I no longer need a back seat).
