A more accurate way to isolate improvements due to weight loss is to measure 0-35 or 0-40 (redline 1st gear). The influence of rolling resistance and aero drag quickly take over after 25-35 mph depending on a few variables.

That is interesting. I could see that. So it would make less difference for street pulls and 40 rolls etc... I wonder then if there is any quantitative data / mathematical calculations for splitters/diffusers and aerodynamic reductions on say a 60-115mph pull?
