I'm not arguing against you, and I definitely welcome more power/torque with open arms. But did you know that this 3 cylinder hybrid can still beat a V8 R8 on a straight drag race?


And it's off the line quicker than the GTR:


Not sure if this is a stock i8, but it wins drag races with other fast cars:
