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

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

Ummmmm....no thanks. I'll pass. For $35-40K, I'll get a new '07/'08 for $30K and put on my own suspension for much less and skip the over the top rear wing. Weight savings are cool too though I could probably pull out my own AC and stereo and get a lot of those savings.
