My argument is, that these cars need very little torque. My car will trundle around @ 30 mph in 6 th gear easy, I proved it to a guy at a show the other week and he couldn't believe it. And will do 60 in under 5 secs and has enough power for power over steer when it takes your fancy.
I guess as others have said though, ultimately its what you wnt from the car, tourer, track car, mix of the both. But in my opinion lighter must be better
