If you can feel 65 lbs of weight you must have the best butt dyno ever.

this ass is first class LOL... premium .. (wow a bit ghey of a commment)

anyhow.. yea i can feel it.... i analyze my car at full tank, half tank, and almost empty to see what the diffences are... when a car with little torque adds additional weight.. it makes a difference.. but i guess others arent really feeling it?

im bone stock btw.. and the spare is gone too... thats where both of my subs are !!

does +65lbs make a difference? probably, can you TRULY feel it? maybe, maybe not, but the fact that you KNOWING that your car is 65lbs heavier have a lot to do with you "feeling" it

i think its called self fulfilling prophecy or something like that, maybe psychology class in college taught me something afterall lol

I really have not considered the extra weight in my trunk....I guess I'll be having an additional 40lbs. or so with the 2 amps, 12'' sub in custom fiberglass box as well ...
