So...still think your car needs to be light to be fast?
Being a complete and utter rookie at this I would assume a heavier car is going to obviously have more down pressure and going to stick much better in corners and carry more speed?

If its carrying more speed through a corner into a straight any speed lost in top end from being heavier would be made up in the corners? Guess its a win some loose some situation?

On another note,got my new rubber Ride 3035;s on the front and 3027's on the back with spice 5mm hard inserts, has made a huge difference I live in a court and can take a much tighter turn now and really turn in and the end of the turn and the ass stays much more in check now. Just gotta take it for a spin at Boronia now to see if I can steer this thing on a track lol
