ok here's a fomula

X(car weight) - Y(weight reduction) = Z(new weight)

[(X-Z)^.482]/5252 = P(the feeling of how much faster your car is)

Throw out the suspension too and that's a good 5 seconds off the 1/4 time...

Re: General wieght reduction question

the less weight, the higher the HP/weight ratio will be. Very important, but in order to really balance it out, you gotta get some performance out of the motor and minus the weight.
