So true, and it is 0.25 Cd and rought 20 sqft frontal area it will have a really low CdA and therefore effectively have maybe 10 more hp available at 70mph than any MINI.

I like it. Downshift against that MINI.

Maybe 2 more HP at 70 MPH against that MINI. You are never seriously gonna need super sticky tires on a car that is not racing. LRR will have plenty traction for everyday needs.
This is going to be a really fun ride.
