I agree when the big rubber is being used to hide a poor chassis.

Big rubber on a GOOD chassis, even with weight, doesn't feel big and heavy. I've driven cars like you are describing (Boss 302 LS, various charger/challenger, 5th gen Camaros, old Vipers, etc) but not all heavier cars are like that.

Big cars need lovin' too
