LOL I love how you take my statement as if I don't think I know that a lighter car will equate to "faster"... I probably know the physics behind why that statement is true better than you do.
Here is the how my mind process works: A Lighter car is only one of the MANY factors that come into play when it comes to how fast a car can accelerate.
Here is how people on this forum seem to think: "It's ONLY faster because it's lighter." Almo
WHAT I AM SAYING HERE is that the power to weight argument always appears to come as an "EXCUSE" in places like this. The car is fast and most of you have stated "Because it's such a light car." It's almost like you discount that fact that ALL THE OTHER factors that make a car "fast" don't even matter. It's basically a defensive attack.
Kinda like when a civic beats a Corvette or porsche or mustang or any other car out there, alot of times this retort comes out: "It may be fast but its still a civic." They race, they get beat and so they have to downplay the other car because their butt hurt. When I race the point of the race is to see who is faster, if I lose I say "Nice car, its fast."
I have always been a car enthusiast and love cars and love the engineering behind it, I am just frustrated and tired of all the ego's that "Racer's" are constantly trying to protect by talking down other cars.
