Alsooooo, when there is a small straight, a heavier car will obviously (again) accelerate slower
Top speed is meaningless on a course.



In order to get proper corner balancing, you need to have coilovers.
You cannot do that with a stock car
anyways point being i can take you on go cart and you can take me in racing cars.. so yeah. point is made.

i like straight line performance...
