Just to get in my daily 'Zuk fest. . . here's a fun one.

Front engine, RWD. Suzuki's version of the Miata, only smaller. Was never sold here in North America, sadly enough

No, read the ad. 660cc DOHC turbocharged 3 cyl. redline 8500rpm, made 64-ish hp and weigh less than 1500lbs.

I do not see how that thing will go fast. Is that like 21 ibs/hp?

Why does everything have to be "fast" in a drag racing perspective?
It's 10 feet long. Realize that the closed length of a full size truck bed is 8'. It's 55" wide, under 5 feet. It's small, compact and has enough power to get stupid with. Most importantly it's RWD.
40-55mpg.. thats all i care about ;)
actually i like it too though, i think its pretty cool looking. i would be a fun little toy.. i duno about a dd though

I knew this chick in highschool how had a little miata drop top and at 100+MPH the top ripped right off and I had to go back and get it to snap it back on. That little car was pretty fun so with RWD that thing would swing in a circle!!!!!!!!

Another car I know about simply because of Gran Turismo.

1,500 pounds, nice. Still needs more power. ;) Give it 150 hp and then I'd be interested. :D
How about this power/weight ratio...

Even though it's not a 'Zuk, but it's light and RWD....a Toyota Starlet from the 80's. My friend has 2 of them. One running completely stock and the other one in pieces waiting for a 4A-GE.

But like any old british roadster, I'd have to do an engine transplant.
