Are you guys seriously concerned about 150lbs? If so, start eating salads and drinking water. Most North Americans are overweight. I'm sure a lot of us can stand to drop 20-40lbs, some even more. I had my LCI corner balanced for a 200lbs driver...I'm only 6'1...no way I should weigh this much...180 is more reasonable. Much cheaper (and healthier) to lose a few yourself than swapping out body panels that won't be installed/painted by the factory. I realize it's not an option for all, but let's be honest...it's an option for many!
Haha!
Good thing we can spend $6,000 plus to save 40 lbs on a hood, roof and trunk. And not even get close to the first gen. 40hp more compensates some for the weight, but enough? Really not sure about this car by comparison, I've been very hopeful.
I start to realize why the Mc Laren 570s is such a cool car. About 3000 lbs and 560 hp. Granted, not in the same category.
