For a long time I thought it would be cool to put a lightweight, boosted, I4 in the lightweight body of something like a Corvette. While I’m dreaming, let’s put the transmission in the rear and shorten the wheelbase a bit.

There’s really no point in chasing top end speed for the 99.9% of cars that spend 99.9% of their…
