Well I know in the racing world that the more horsepower to weight

ratio the faster the thing can move. Sprintcars my first love, have

a 900hp motor powerering a 1300lb car (including the driver).

The new age automobile will no longer look like a "tank" or a "boat"

or "sled".

Saturn made some good Tupperware bodied cars before the mother corp reconsidered their initial promise to let them run as a separate corporate entity, took the reigns and fucked things up. Plenty of those 15+ year old compacts still bombin around here with lots of miles on them .
