So basically, everyone is telling you you're right.

It sounds like your acceleration is what you're asking about. Yeah, you'll get about double the benefit at low speeds because the power to weight ratio will dominate your acceleration performance at low to moderate speeds, assuming you have traction.

However, weight reduction will also improve braking, handling, etc. Of course you don't get to double dip there--you just get a bonus on acceleration.

And using P/W to get an equivalent 2.2whp like vader1 did is a great way to do a reality check on what level of weight reduction will make a noticeable difference. I'd be surprised if you feel more than a placebo level difference without about a 50lb change.

 

^ this. it's about the p/w ratio.

 

if u r 250 pounds , stop eating so much for a few month.. diet till around 150 pounds , n u will gain 0.1 sec faster in the 1/4 miles

 

on a street car cutting weight is retarded. want more power, add a pound of boost

 

agreed^^^

 

All you need to know if

F=ma (Force = Mass * Acceleration)

or rearranged

F/m=a (Force / Mass = Acceleration)

 

Without getting too into it. If weight it taken off the correct areas on the car its only beneficial. Do what you gotta do
