Guys have a quick question in terms of the weight of our cars affecting the performance. When changing exhaust systems, wheels, etc how much weight is added or lost? Also when putting people into the car how much of the 0-60 or the speed in general is lost, lets say a full car 800LBS

 

My 300lb friend puts me back about 2.5-3 cars from a 40-140mph roll

 

Wow, that's a big performance loss! How does he fit in the seats?

 

 

try this little app to get some estimates.

^ lol .. sorry but was not expecting that.. hillarious

 

LOL aww man

 

Fits just fine.

 

Yea i'm still waiting for someone to start pulling weight from the car via seats and such just to see, heh

 

Good point. I was playing with this yesterday in regards to a tuned IS-F's numbers. I was surprised that using 440 flywheel HP at 3800 pounds, the 0-60 was in the mid 3.9's. When I subtractraced 50 pounds from the weight down to 3750, the 0-60 time actually went up to the high 3.9s. Maybe the loss of weight reduces the traction and the ability for the rear tires to hook up???

 

it's only a guesstimate and definitely not ISF specific. I would not read too much into a few fraction of a second.

 

I'll leave that for the Honda boys!

 

Naw I'll never do that to my F. This is a sport luxury car not an evo. Why would you wanna take out the luxury in this car?
I love my heavy beast. She's plumpy, but she can still touch her toes!

 

hahaha

 

Seat is extremely easy to remove, took me no more than 5 mins to get it out of the car.
