I'm personally going with a more powerful engine (F20C in a 1500 lbs. trike) for my own project (partly for salability as I think it will actually scare the hell out of me—I hope the higher FD slows it down enough), but I can see the appeal of a strictly mileage-based design.
Another good thing about using the Metro engine is that you use more of a single donor. This way a guy goes and buys/gets-for-free a Metro with a rotted chassis and has almost everything he'd need besides the obvious chassis and body fabrication. Sounds interesting. I like this idea a lot, especially if the chassis leaves the body design possibilities open like it sounds.
