    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.

            kg

            1500lb would be ~680kg; that is serious race car territory. Not road legal these days; but a 1975 Fiat 500 weighed 500kg.

            Many years ago, I had a 1992 Honda civic hatch; after looking it up; weighed 925kg.
