Why is our car so heavy?

But I bet it's 0-6 mph is ridiculous.

Sport package w/ tires
52.2lbs
56.8lbs
per this thread
base rims are about
50f
52r
with tires


sport akebonos:
Front caliper: 11lbs
Rear caliper: 6lbs
Front rotor: 29lbs
rear rotor: ???


base brakes:
front rotor: 22lbs, 5 oz
no other weights available


No way the calipers are under 5lbs on base, so we will go with that.


Don't have the rest of the weight, but based on that, I don't see how you would get 80-100 lbs for the SP, you've got a delta of maybe 45lbs if you leave some weight for the rotors...unless the viscous unit weighs a ton
