Actually, Paul, I was using my "accounting" mind, figuring where to take out weight and expense.

However, I do see your point. The counter point to that is that the people who think that way are never going to race hardcore enough to be in the markets we're talking about.

The object of the exercise that I'm talking about is a light, inexpensive, fast new car, off the showroom floor, much like the Chrysler program that produced the original Road Runner. A real "win on Sunday sell on Monday" car and program that the factories can take full advantage of.
