This is the million dollar question. It will be capable, no doubt. But, will it's heft and size sour some people's driving experiences, regardless of the car's immense power and skidpad capabilities and lap times. It's grown by what, 5.5 inches and multiple hundreds of pounds? Just throwing out an example, I'd rather drive a 300 hp/3000 lb car than a 600 hp/6000 lb uber-SUV, both having the same power:weight ratio. Who knows, maybe the new breed of enthusiast wants excessive power and torque with a cockpit having more buttons than a commercial airplane. Everything else be damned.
