So if I drain all the coolant and all the oil will my 998 A-series be quicker than a 1275 BMW headed twinkie?

If so I have solved Spaceboys conundrum :!: :!:

If you remove oil from the container in the back it will go faster.

That flamable liquid that you put in the side creates excessive weight, get rid of that too 8)

hey it really is all about the "power to weight Ratio" right,,, that`s what accelleration is all about right??? the lighter the car the faster it accellerates yeah???,,, It`s just simply physics,,, no need for any more technical jargon than natures own forces at it`s best,,,well the road wheels & tyres are pretty dam heavy,,, so get rid of all of those too yeah? surely it will go much faster then right?

Damn straight, all that metal in the body is doing nothing but slowing you down.

If you are really worried about the effect of excess weight on performance, then have a BIG crap every time before you drive the thing. :)
the only time to get worried is when the white guide posts along the highway start to look like a white picket fence. In a moke THEN I would get worried :shock:
