Edit: Yeah, no. You went way into detail basically saying it was worthless to reduce mass unless it was up high, at the ends, or unsprung. I'll stick with B.S. No offense. |
My point was that it is the least important area of weight as it the most centrally located and not a part of unsprung weight or rotational mass. I didn't say it didn't matter though. But to try to lose enough body mass for a performance gain is silly unless you are overweight/obese to begin with. Then by all means, try to lose weight as there are many benefits in life by doing that. But this thread was asking about how they could have designed the car to have less weight - so that does not include the driver or passengers as they are a variable the designers/manufacturers can't really control unless they refuse selling the car to anyone over a certain weight.
