I like where your head is at, Lobo. It's not that we're removing something from the car; Rather, we're adding lightness. That helps not only with acceleration, but also ride, braking and handling.
I think sometimes people are so concerned about peak power and torque numbers they frequently forget the end goal: better overall performance.
I seek performance through wisdom.
