At what age did you realize that heavier cars are better than lighter ones?
>more grip at low speeds >safer in a crash >better sound insulation
Idiots are always like
>b-but you need less power if it weighs less!
Sure, but a heavier car will always have a higher top speed with the same 0-60 time. For example a Lotus Elise is 900kg and has 130bhp, it will do 0-60 as fast as a medium-fast German barge, but a German barge will do 170mph and an Elise tops out at 125mph.
>y-you don't need to go 170mph!!!
That's not the point you retard. Above 60mph it will be slow as shit, holy fuck.
But which is more fun around the track. The one that feels like a go kart, or the one that feels like your mom's neutered sedan? How often will you get to 170 mph? Shit even on closed courses it'll be unnecessary.

>more grip at low speeds wrong >safer in a crash wrong >better sound insulation not related in any way
Benjamin Lewis
Weight has nothing to do with top speed you moron. It has to do with acceleration and inertia. There are merits to ultralight cars and moderately heavy cars for performance, all depends on what the design goal is.

>>more grip at low speeds >>safer in a crash >>better sound insulation
none of these things have any direct correlation with weight
David Hernandez
You kids are so dumb.
If a car weighs more it will be slowed down less by an impact, meaning less force is transmitted to the driver as a result of a change in speed. Obviously the only exemption is if you crash into something which cant move, like a tree or some shit.
Go back to school.

Apparently they don't teach physics in school anymore. They did when I went though, which is how I know you are a complete moron.
Jordan Thompson
im gunna have a go at this
lighter cars are cheaper to buy and cheaper to work on. easier to work on and cheaper to maintain
Luis Smith
Are you saying a truck with an empty bed has more grip than a truck with sandbags over the axle?
