Sometimes the best engineer is the one who knows the fools are going to spend a dollar anyway, so he makes it more than twice as good as he could if he stuck with the 50 cents. One of my favorite cars from the slide rule era is the 1966 Ford Mustang. About the same curb weight as the decades newer Nissan 280ZX except the Mustang with the small V8 can reach about twice the horsepower. But when driven conservatively would almost equal the gas mileage of the small Japanese roadster.
