i have driven a hyper 7 buggy, and that thing was a tank but you could drive the hell out of it.
If a heavier car is faster, easier to drive, or handles better than a lighter car the lighter car either has a bad setup or the wrong tires. Its an illuzion that heavier cars have more traction and easier to drive.
