How much difference would loosing 55g to get to 1550 make and how do I drop that weight??
I'm right about that same point. Lower rotational mass is more important than overall weight. I'll take a good handling, snappy 17.5 car any day over an ill handling 1499 car any day. My older reflexes and eye sight don't allow for handling issues with my cars anymore.
