This is an interesting chart.

Everyone always complains about how cars have gotten huge and bloated. Honestly, I don't really see that. Yes, the car is 322# heavier which is a fair amount, but considering the changes, that's not THAT much.
It's less than 1.5" longer, about 3/4" wider and just over an inch shorter than the original. Those don't sound like the measurements of something that's huge compared to the original. And considering the other details, nearly double the hp and over 50% more torque. Essentially 33% faster 0-60 is crazy! The stopping performance and lateral acceleration figures are impressive for a car that's 300+# heavier. And on top of everything else, the fuel economy is essentially identical.
