    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 like lurker think: POWER/WEIGHT conquers all! -.-


    WHAT I AM SAYING HERE is that the power to weight argument always comes as an "EXCUSE" in places like this it seems. The car is fast and most of you have stated that "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."

    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.

    /rant lol
    So who are you aimimg this at? All I have said is that he does not make the kind of power that I do, so the lighter weight is what will help him out against me. And the gearing a lot too. You are right though, the lighter weight is only one factor of making a car fast and I have not said it is not.
