[QUOTE="Spartan1, post: 1186679, member: 22264"] My first thought after reading this was that it was total bs. It's like comparing a grape with an orange with a watermelon and saying the watermelon is the best and the grape is better than the orange. Then I got to thinking...which can often lead to me looking dumb but here goes. I was thinking about un sprung weight. That big dodge weighs more and I am sure that the suspension is less complex. If I am off roading on trails with loose gravel and mud do I want more weight? Does it matter if it is above or below the springs and suspension? I was thinking of those wheel weights vs something in the bed. I would think that the answer is above the springs. Surely the tires matter as well. I have noticed some serious "wheel hop" with my pedal commander dialed up when I decide to floor it from a full stop on the pavement. Would more weight be better or worse for this? I would think more weight equals potentially slower acceleration but less wheel hop. Lastly, wouldn't their conclusions in this write up be completely subjective. For instance, one racer likes his car loose and one tight? [/QUOTE]
