255 HP is plenty if the car only weighs 2350 pounds. The problem with most of the listed vehicles is weight. Not to mention cost.
Heavy cars going fast eat tires and brakes at a furious pace. This English feller named Colin Chapman had this all figured out decades ago.
Oh yeah. Something like a Lotus can use a pretty much off-the-shelf Toyota engine and be a demon.
I’m amazed at the SUVs. Range Rover Supercharged can’t be kept in stock at dealers. BMW X5Ms are sleepers, almost indistinguishable from grocery-getting X5s.
Some of the prices on the list are way too optimistic. Nobody’s getting a new 500+ hp Range Rover for $64K!
