Wouldn't the hood screw up the 50/50 weight ratio thing? Just wondering..


: i just opened my newest motortrend magazine and saw first hte newest glossy print ad for the toyota MR2 as well as their first road test of it. impressive little sucker. 138hp (same as base z3 1.9) but 0-60 in 6.6........highlighted by its 2100 curb weight.

: this is fresh in my head because the new m3 will be about 3350 to 3450 pounds (a pig) and our M coupes are already 3100 loaded (with people and gas).

: the point of the ad though was this: they excluded the hardtop contraption because it adds too much weight and weight is the enemy of a good handling car.....BMW, are you listening?

: any coupe-heads get that carbon fiber hood yet???!?!?!
