That power to weight ratio would put them in a slight niche in a good way.----

1. That engine I believe already gets 31MPG on the Q50. With a Z weighing 600-700 pounds less than a Q50 the gas mileage highway could exceed 34mpg.
2. The handling and braking on a car so light would put it worlds ahead of a mustang, Camaro and other "competition".
3. The car would be a track monster while maintaining practicality of great fuel economy.
I like how you think - SOLD!
