I have been in the industry for 30 years and have never seen this attitude so bad as in the last 5. Cars are getting heavier. Yes but it isn't for lack of trying and pumping shitloads of money into new tech to fight that weight gain. Obviously I can not say how much but the money spent on reducing the weight of a set of rotors would shock people. That is one part of one system of the whole car. This same thing is being done for every single part. Right down to the very nuts and bolts.
