Guys have a quick question in terms of the weight of our cars affecting the performance. When changing exhaust systems, wheels, etc how much weight is added or lost? Also when putting people into the car how much of the 0-60 or the speed in general is lost, lets say a full car 800LBS

Good point. I was playing with this yesterday in regards to a tuned IS-F's numbers. I was surprised that using 440 flywheel HP at 3800 pounds, the 0-60 was in the mid 3.9's. When I subtractraced 50 pounds from the weight down to 3750, the 0-60 time actually went up to the high 3.9s. Maybe the loss of weight reduces the traction and the ability for the rear tires to hook up???
Yea i'm still waiting for someone to start pulling weight from the car via seats and such just to see, heh
Naw I'll never do that to my F. This is a sport luxury car not an evo. Why would you wanna take out the luxury in this car?
I love my heavy beast. She's plumpy, but she can still touch her toes!
