davey_83 Posted February 11, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 11, 2018 Share 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.

brillomaster Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 p.s what was your view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 30bhp gain if you don't like driving, less 150kg if you like driving - I like driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 150kg less, and take another 15kg or so if I can shift it from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted February 19, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I agree with lightness over power, but it is an interesting balance pending on which circuit you are at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
