I agree or even a little less, like 10-12lbs/hp. I had a 1967 Lotus Elan that weighed 1500 lbs and had 115hp. That car was a blast to drive. Quick. And cornered like nothing else I’ve ever driven.

I love my 2.5i. It’s really fun and honestly has all the get up I need for daily driving. BUT, I think about 250hp would be the sweet spot for this car.
