I was talking about my kitcar @ 1409 lbs( I didn't mention BMW so where did that come from?) That sort of power to weight ratio is not even competitive anymore in the UK. Proper road legal kit cars under 1100 pounds with 250 or more bhp are common, but they are Sevenesque style, unlike my car with full width bodywork and a decent trunk.All kitcars have to undergo a Government Independent Vehicle Assessment before being licensable for the road, ie a full safety review. Surviving getting hit by a lorry disguised as a passenger vehicle which is carrying 4 obese people whilst the driver is texting, is admittedly not a consideration during the assessment.
