davey_83 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Me and a good pal was chatting and had different views, the question posed was "would you rather an extra 30bhp from your Zed or have it weigh 150kg less?" Quote
brillomaster Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 well, the reason i got rid of my zed was because i could get a car that had an extra 80bhp for the same weight, since in a roadcar i like going fast in a straight line. however if it was a track car, i'd take the weight reduction since going fast in a straight line is only one part of track driving, whereas less weight helps on braking and cornering as well.

davey_83 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 30bhp gain if you don't like driving, less 150kg if you like driving - I like driving Quote
RobPhoboS Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 150kg less, and take another 15kg or so if I can shift it from me Quote
Rock_Steady Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Yeah, i'd definitely go for the lighter option. Lightness is a weapon. The DC2 proved that many years back beating cars on track with twice the power which were heavier. Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I agree with lightness over power, but it is an interesting balance pending on which circuit you are at Quote
Ekona Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I’m sure I’ve posted on this thread previously... Quote
5tu Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 There is another duplicate thread for some reason which you have indeed been chatty on Quote
Ekona Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 At least I’m not going mad! Cheers dude Quote
