I disagree. I can definitely feel weight via responsiveness although it may not be completely accurate. Rubber bushings and all the slack in the suspension + tire flexibility contributes to a car's response as much as springs + dampers. A lighter car will not deform its bushings as much before the car follows the steering or throttle input. If we're talking about solid pillow ball mounts and race tires then it is harder to feel weight.
