I'm all about compromise. *Everything* is a compromise and I recognise that.

You pretend as though there isn't anything practical out there past 3000lb's now THAT's "LUDICROUS".

What about lightening an average weight car is Ludicrous?

For a given price point, if you want a fast dedicated track car, it's LUDICROUS to start with a heavy car. You will need more power, more brakes, more structural stiffness, etc. to achieve the same speed vs. a lighter-weight car. AND you'll spend a LOT more money to run it.

No, but as weight goes up, cost to achieve a speedy lap time also goes up, *and* you lose the immediacy of a smaller/lighterweight car.

And truthfully I don't consider something a "pig" or overweight until it reaches higher than 3800lbs,

Depends on the application, of course. For me, that number would be closer to 3200 for a real-world daily driven sports car.

GOOD RIDDANCE!
