NEED SUB 3000 lb 400hp car...why is this so hard??
400hp is asking a lot out of a sub 3000lb car. You either need a bigger (heavier) engine or turbos with cooling.

You could get a BRZ and try get another 200hp out of that? But when you realize how cheap it is inside you'll know why a Porsche is 300 pounds heavier.

Weird, my 2004 GT3 had 370hp and was just about 3000 lbs...probably should have never sold that car

They need to stop adding stupid sound-deadening and making modern cars BIGGER than past generations...if its a sports car, it shouldn't seat 4 comfortably...just buy the M5 then

Because of safety regulations & customer demand. Can't sell something that the government wont let you build & customers refuse to buy.

I hate to be point this out but do you remember you were a kid and you'd hear your grandfather or father bitch and moan about something they loved becoming extinct? Companies have to adapt to what the public want and the public tend to be the younger generation... They are who they need to appease to lock them in for future purchases... You're getting old, right now the general public want more tech, creature comforts and power... What you want will be one offs (ala Porsche 911R or M4GTS) or exclusives or something made in small batches...

What? Did you not read what I wrote? I am speaking to the observations of the person in the video("according to the video commentary..."), as is every other post in this thread. It is speaking to what we have seen. It seems you are having trouble with the concept of this thread, and the entire forum lol. Based on your logic, no one should post anything on here until 2021, this forum should not even exist! Lol clown, how about you follow your own logic and not post for a couple of years.

Look at the size of that muffler can! (gotta hope it's not the final rear fender - I can't drive around with that hanging out the back of my car! ).

Anyone shares this opinion?
Well, that kind of thinking got us into this horrible GRILL debacle. So no.

The angle and swirls make it difficult to see if that car is missing the leaked diffuser in the leaked picture below?



The cut-outs around the pipes appear to be more square in the leaked pic. But again those swirls play tricks on the eye. The whole bumper appears a bit different on the test car, with more of a shelf under the trunk.
