BUT.. with a new cage system (using cromol).. more CF and more aluminum to get the weight down. I would also rebuild the dash to get rid of all my gauges except the STACK unit.. again, for weight savings. I have no desire for ABS, tracktion control, or other "complications"
I would rather have less weight than more power any day..

In a past life I roadraced motorcycles, weight (or lack of it) is a very big part of going around corners quickly.
Based on that experience my ultimate car would be very, very light.
Curious;
How light could a pony car get with a minimal (6-point) chrome moly cage, some glass or carbon body parts and mostly aluminum drive train?
Imagine a 2,500 lb pony car with 500 HP at the rear wheels. Aside from being very quick it would be very easy on driveline parts and therefore very reliable
