The better bet would be getting the B58 back up to the proper output as with the 40i but also having the electric assist
Yeah, was born here, gotta play by local rules. Taxes are used for example to fund free university education for everyone, so it ain't all bad, having three kids myself.

And a hybrid ain't that bad either, some 350 kg extra weight. I expect most my driving to be fully electric and cheap. Let's see how that goes in reality, especially in the winter.

I fully agree about the B58. I am hoping that the engine is mechanically identical to the one in the 40i so it should be a simple mod to get full output. Then I would be happy. Except that I still don't know when I will be getting the car, most likely early next year.
the tax difference for your car is the cost of most 4 year degrees in the US at non-private universities.

hopefully that's the case, I'm sure people will tune them either way considering the B58 already has some good flash tunes out
