Let's just let the numbers speak for themselves:
Si = 2886lbs
Plethore = 2750lbs

It's lighter than the Si, and it's got 5x the power

The question is: How many seal carcasses can the trunk hold?


And does it run on Molson?

Just what I was thinking. I'm guessing the regular model runs on maple syrup and any cars to be delivered to Quebec can take poutine as well. :)

You know, I don't get the CF frame. The body I can see, but I've never heard of a CF chassis before. Has anyone else done that?

I agree - it's kinda wierd they specify that the body and the frame are CF. You'd think it would be a monocoque (unibody) design.

I guess when they say "frame", they really mean a CF tub that's a unibody, not a body-on-frame per se.
