High praise. Thank you. I don't often find people who can appreciate many of the things I say and put forth their honest opinions about it, much less people who really learn anything..
(Of course, in those cases, I'm usually on rants about philosophy...)
Anyway, those 275s are really beasts. I expect they'd only be suitable for track use, because first sign of puddles, they'd pull up their pant legs and skip right over them. With a car this light, I expect hydroplaning would be a MAJOR problem with that size of wheels.
I'm all for the factory-turbocharged idea and the easily modable idea. I've actually had the idea for basically this exact car long before I knew anything about this concept. I saw a market for a car that didn't exist and thought to myself, "The first manufacturer who makes this kind of car will strike gold." I found out about it and about shat myself.
