Is weight no longer an issue in sports cars?
Someone please enlighten me. I feel like I'm missing something here.
I'm following latest sports cars releases and aside from very few exceptions (Alpine A110) almost none of the sports cars coming to market today seem to even bother about weight at all.
It's startling me that the latest release of 911 992 is a pretty heavy car yet almost no one is even mentioning this in the reviews at all, it's like being a heavy sports car is no problem in today's world.
I'm in the school of thought of lighter sports car is better. I can certainly feel the difference between 1450 kg (3196 lbs) sports car and a 1250 kg (2755 lbs) sports car. Now sports cars are more like 1600 kg (3527 lbs)! That's the weight of small SUV!
So honestly am I missing something here? am I the only one who thinks like this? what's up?
