[CL9] In search of horsepower

[aaronng]

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.

There is more to a car's performance if cornering aggressively. The centre of gravity and the wheel track of the car matters too, which is why on track, the MK5 GTI catches up to the Euro in the corners very quickly, while the Euro pulls away a bit on the straight (this was my Euro with Tein Flex vs a totally stock Mk 5 GTI). I was totally whipped by a stock GTI......
