no real hp gains but a weight reduction of about 90 lbs, according to the article

so if you removed your a/c, sound system, and soft top... you, too, could be lighter and faster

Disappointing

With the higher price and dealer markups this thing will be too close in price to an elise and not close enough in performance.
