Playful words on a sarcastic stage, that's all it is. Some cars that are light have no need to go to Jenny Craig and that's fine, but most on here have big nose heavy street cars from the days of yore and they could use a light foot to hang with the heavies.
To each his own, but the few times that my long wheelbase has gone drunk from one lane to the other, I was happy to not be in a short wheel base. I guess it scared me straight. LOL.
IF you want to build a RACE CAR.. start with something thats light... next.. my car drives straight as a arrow so forget the short wheel base aspect.. your trying to make a tank light... I commend you on that... and the ideas you have come up with... but back to the title of the post... weight VS dollar.. do you have a dollar per pound or not.. and what is the weight of your ride as of now.. is it under 3000#
