Your statements are quite generalized, and in many cases downright false. |

That would require such poor alignment that it would seriously compromise the handling even below cruising speeds. All platforms need their emergency margin.

In fact it makes less than zero sense.

If I remembered the context in which I was taking, I'd elaborate but I don't. Thanks for the response.

Yes weight is still an issue, in the last week I've heard a few people talking about it… whether it be Truck weight , or car weight. Notice how nice cars , if their weight is 3500+ lbs , the later generations /iterations tend to be a bit lighter ( the car manufactures are giving them something …. another positive). Somepeople may think, "Hey I'm dropping $50k on a new car, more is better….. more is more. Some don't realize that oftentimes less (weight) tends to be more.
Or , even more important then car weight is as a driver, drop some lbs off your own body/frame weight. You'll also live longer in the process! Your health is your wealth!!

I was just thinking about this the other day. It would probably be easier to drop 20lbs off your body then 20lbs by removing your AC. Hahaha
