Powerful??? In a world that's gainin' 400+ horsepower (and better. Much better) quasi-exotic, off-the-showroom-floor cars almost by the month, 240 horse doesn't quite cut the mustard to qualify as powerful. Agile n' quick yeah. But powerful? Well, I jus' don't know that I'd call it powerful.
While I very much appreciate the quiet note of the car, dual exhaust says to me that there're two banks of cylinders sittin' under that long, low hood, n' that there're enough ponies to dust 5.0 Mustangs at a single bound (from a stop), n', as we all know, that jus' ain't the case.
'Sides, I've always appreciated the stealthy, low-profile approach of
"sleepers" which is the opposite direction altogether: No show; All go.
But, like Halo pointed out about the power top, A/C, leather seats, power windows/mirrors, and the decision to go with that extra weight: everything's a balance of priorities.
Be well.
