Maybe not. It's like car enthusiasts refusing any modern car, especially EV that are on paper much more powerful but less fun to tinker and go down country roads.

    But but but but my timing gun! And the points, plugs, and condenser! And the distributor cap! I NEED those to make my car worth driving and life worth living. /s

    I do not require a combustion chamber in my sports car. I do however, prefer a curb weight under 1500 kg, which happens to exclude the vast majority of cars for sale in North America, even sporty ones, and EV sports cars under 1500 kg are very difficult to find indeed.

    … I do however, prefer a curb weight under 1500 kg…

    Why?

    And don’t you mean pounds?

    Handling, acceleration, energy efficiency, pedestrian safety, and repair costs are all positively affected by lower curb weight. There's also a strong correlation between better visibility and lower size.

    And no, I definitely mean kg.

    Thanks! I'm content with ICE cars for the near term. Mazda MX-5, Nissan Z, Porsche Boxster, Mini Cooper, Civic Type R, Toyota FRS/Subaru BRZ, etc. all fit the bill.

    On the electric side, the e Golf proved that it's possible, and the electric Mini Cooper also fits firmly under 1500 kg. So there is more hope for the future!
