I have to agree SuperTrooper makes sense here. Even so, there's always a range of HP and HP/weight ratios out there on the market. There's every reason that an electric Mini with 125-160 hp or so would be enjoyable to drive and thrifty to own.

Shucks, with FE a concern for more and more people, I'd guess that de-tuners might evolve to provide that need. They'd be, um, ecomodders.
