depends on the ratio, I'm sure you'd agree... I'd take 1hp for 1lb all day long... in this case, 1hp=8.7lbs... considering this car is a pig to begin with, and considering that reliability is important to me, I'm sure you're right, need to keep pulling weight off

issue is closed unless someone wants to plead the case for SC.................

I would agree when it comes to accelleration, however horsepower doesn't help you at all under braking or cornering.

In my previous post, I didn't mean that horsepower was a substitute for weight loss. What I was saying is to get your car as light as possible. If you are under the weight limit allowed by your class, place ballasts in ideal positions. If you cannot possibly get your car light enough to be at the limit allowed by your class, then you add as much horsepower as you can. Like I said though, horsepower only helps your acceleration while weight reduction helps acceleration, braking, and handling.
