Absolutely right, Kreso.
I really hope the sports car manufacturers think about it. Make the cars a little bit smaller, no need for cars being longer than 4.30 m for example. Make them lower, a F430 sits a little bit too high. Don't make them as wide as they currently are, a low car with width of 1.90 m looks at least as aggressive as a car that is more than 2 m wide and has greater height. Moreover if the car is not too wide, it is easier to handle on small roads.
And finally increase light materials such as Carbon and Aluminium to keep the weight down.
If they all do that, cars with around 1200 to 1300 kg would be possible withouth problem, together with a power output of 550hp that would be hell of a drive.

Yeh, there's definitely some anti-BMW discrimination on this board.

BTW, did you ever had a chance to drive RS4?
RS4 V8 is very picky unit and it is not feeling very powerfull at low revs IMO. And what about oil consumption on this engine? It is pretty high-just ask some RS4 owners... Specially in first 10000km's... My friend own one and likes it a lot, but oil consumption and oil operating temperature... Better not to talk about it...
Just a clue for you-after only two laps at Grobnik race track in Croatia RS4 oil temperature was at 125C!! How much will that engine last I asked myself... And I am Audi fan!
Spirited drive on the autobahn... 115C oil temperature...
Ask any 997 turbo owner about oil temperature...
