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.....
I dont disagree the weight is a factor. But as our car has heavier replacable items ie front seats and bonnet it could quite easily come down alot more then another car im not saying its going to be lighter then one however could be comparable for sure
