But anyway, *why* would you rather see power/weight addressed only on the POWER side of the equation?
For most tracks (Nurburgring and other particularly high-speed tracks which you will most likely never go to excepted), power makes you faster in a straight line, whereas lighter-weight makes you faster everywhere...

Being that I own the car, have actually driven it hard, I feel fine with its handling at this girth and would simply enjoy more grunt, more torque, more acceleration. The car has magnificent grip. Sure, it's not as connected as an S2k/Miata/FRS, but it's a hell of a lot of fun to corner in.
Also, since you're fond of nitpicking semantics, I was trying to close our Power/Weight argument rather than prolong it, which you've enjoyed doing. I disagreed that they should solve the issue with weight savings.
