Re: Why are all new sports cars so massive?

Sports cars can't be small. With all the modern safety equipment they need, they can't be very light. Which means they need a large engine to haul around all that mass, which means it can't be very small either.

My dad has a '80 Triumph TR7 convertible. Looks quite a bit like that X1/9, but it's front-engine. That little car is a lot of fun. No power at all, but the handling makes up for that. Feels like you're driving a go-kart!
