The car weight?
Why the peoples always talk too much about the weight for car?
I don't care about the weight! It's not necessary about the weight of this car. |

its estimated that if you strip your car of its weight it is approximately one horsepower per pound. in theory meaning this.
if you had two of your car paul. two accord ex's. you both had the same engine, but one was stripped of a lot of weight. The one with less weight would win the race. get it? |

i don't think it's a pound per horsepower or vice versa. it should be less.

Trev, Neh! I don't fly on plane. I'm not a pliot lol! So, I'm traveler and I been flew on the plane to many places a lot. It's better than car. Unless, if you get boring over the summer ( long school break). Then the car miliages is going up higher enough. Expaine:- Seattle-Tokyo-Hong Kong is about USD$1000 on United Airlines Flight Car paint:- USD$1000 I must be start the thread about travel the world. |
