Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! What makes the car lively is the absence of weight. Like ninjin said, suspension tweeks.

Well yes that's true.. What we were. Talking about is the fact that he removed weight in the rear but that's where we should have a little more rather then the front. Loosing weight is a great idea. But we're we need weight should be in the rear

I understand that, but ain't nobody got time for that. Ideally one would remove all the weight they can then adjust the suspension to match, but realistically people are removing weight as a cheap mod just to turn around and spend thousands on suspension mods. I understand than every little bit helps, but removing everything from your car to save a few seconds on a dd is a little much in my humble opinion.

I think you're an excellent driver, and I remember you telling me about an injury. I think it was your knee. I was just giving you shit.
