the extra torque gained by 400cc does not offset that weight diff of 270kg......

u can shed some kgs by changing front seats, etc..... but my car cl9 still weighs 1320kg with full tank and no driver...........

it's a big handicap to catch up to a dc5r with minor mods.....
Official ADR recorded weight is 1390kg for the CL9, so you are right.
Perhaps I should've tried to make the point with a different car, all I tried to say is that CL9 wasn't as heavy as some people tend to think. Hell a MK 5 GTI weighs 1350kg.
