oh i agree shoot ever 8lbs reduces ur top speed on the tracks straight aways.

so lighter is better for track purposes but for the daily it isn't much

TBH id rather lose body fat

You understand the difference between rotating mass and static mass? Even on the street, youre gonna have to brake harder to slow the car and use more gas to get the car up to speed.

Rotational Weight Vs. Static Weight V. Performance gains

good link with lots of info i appreciate that but your link also proves most wouldn't really feel a difference.

0-60 times would be better by .0xx

but i digress

I'm no engineer, but I hear unsprung weight makes a bigger difference than sprung weight. Can affect how nimble the car feels I believe and that's what this car was made for. That being said, the TC105N looks best.
