aftermarket boost is available so theres no need for factory ones
hardtop can also be bought, oem or aftermarket, so a retractable is not necessary
weight reduction can be done if i want a track-only car, suspension can be upgrade with aftermarket parts
but there is no replacement for displacement, so im gonna have to go with the 2.5L

hmmmm like our cars don't handle well enough already? and even better with some well-selected parts.
I wouldn't mind the turbo option...gotta love the out-of-the-box potential of those turbo cars.

Give me lighter with the current suspension for street use. I'll take care of stiffer and 1G when I start tracking the car. Or, have a "Track trim" as an option, with the stiffer suspension, sort of like the sports package on the Lotus Elise. Keep the power windows thought
