Yes, I agree with that. the insight only had to be made strong enough to support a MAX of 76 h.p. Now back to the topic. the original question was generated because of the lightweight of the insight. Why waste your time with a car that is gonna cost you 10x more to get a hold of when you are just gonna hack it up. When you can get a CRX HF which is actually 30 lbs. lighter and will support much more hp. I'm getting a 2003 Insight next month for a daily driver as I drive 150 miles a day. That's what this car was designed for, I don't think its good for anything else. looking forward to the 70 plus miles per gallon, so I can save money to rebuild B16.
