no, really, i cant wait for the next NHRA race i go to. i hear wilkerson is running with four 12's, a cooler of bud, and a passenger now. you know because weight really doesnt matter.
oh yea and i hear F1 is now looking into lead body panels, something about it being safer, and not hurting performance

ever driven an older car that isnt power steering? try turning the wheel while standing still, it take a decent amout of force to move it because there is a great deal of friction between the tires and the ground.
now take said car for a cruise and see how easily it turns no compared to when its stopped.
i can keep going. . .

and sure you can make a car faster in a drag race by removing weight, and sure it will make the car overall faster, but the weight plays more of a roll in dampering performance from a dead stop then it does from a roll, there is no getting around that. take 2 equal LS1's and remove 200lbs from 1, drag race the the 200lbs lighter one will win by a larger margin then it would from a roll. that is the point i am trying to make.

still waiting on times of stock ones, and a pullied one. you havent provided proof to back up a single claim yet.
also, i would like to note i never claimed to run with them. in fact i stated i lost, and by what distance. somehow that got turned into me hanging with them.

momentum=mass x velocity. therefore, a cobra at x speed will have a greater MOMENTUM than a cobalt at x speed. Force required to reach a certain NET force is inversely proportional to the momentum of a moving object. Although momentum won't have that huge of a difference, the higher the velocity goes, the more difference momentum will make in acceleration.
The faster two objects (with different masses) are moving, the less difference in force is required to create the same acceleration. you can all stop bitching now.
