I know, but I don't know why I just felt it seemed smaller than Z when I stood next to it today.

It's because it aint got the hips the Z has

Here's what I think it needs, sitting comfortably from my arm chair:

1. MUCH stickier tires

2. Better brakes (at least pads and lines)

3. Further gutting to reduce weight.

4. FI

The first three alone should get it from "close but no cigar" to "holy ****, this car rocks".

Boost would make this car legendary.

1. You can get much better tires than OEM for less money. Dunlop Star Specs with the same exact specs get .94 in the skidpad according to Road and Track's latest issue.

2. I've got no complaints about the brakes so far. But I agree if you were gonna track, you'd want to upgrade.

3. Gutting it too much would ruin the DD livability, but you could probably safely do a rear seat delete with out losing any comfort. I fit in the back seats, but I wouldn't want to be in there for more than 5 miles or so.

4. This would completely change the car's class. Losing a couple of hundred pounds and bumping the HP to 240-250 would make it totally scream, but if it came out of the factory that way, the insurance costs would soar. It would be a Lotus killer! But it would cost 35k and I would have bought a BMW 1 series instead

^^ I didn't follow the link so I dunno if it's stock. I agree though, be pointless to run stock engine HP with those tires.

Edit: It was stock HP.
