Screw the environment, I'd pick the bicycle because of the advantages in top speed and acceleration. 😛
I forget if the Metro or the Suzuki offers the 1.0l 3 pot. You have to plan on a calendar to get it up to 55 on an on-ramp (driven them both, forget which it was).

If I get one I'll be performing some weight reduction. The Inline 3 won't be as bad.

That body is pretty light. IIRC, the Swift GTi was near 2000lbs and I was thinking it was closer to 1800. That is why it did 0-60 in the 8 range with only 100hp.

I won't be needing the rear seats, passenger seat, carpeting, or plastic panels. There has to be some considerable weight there.

Add a rollcage and you are ready for SCCA GT5 😀
