If I was building and had the option to build lightweight or a power adder I'd build lightweight. It doesn't take as much engine to go fast when you're light and I'm not smart enough to make a lot of power.
I'll take light any day.... way EASIER on parts

Not so much as impressed but more like envious
That is a good point! LOL 
Weight is relative. Every 100 lbs is roughly a tenth in the quarter mile, so you can adjust your impression for it somewhat. My junk is over 3200 lbs with driver. IMO, 2500 is light, 3000 is medium, 3800 is heavy. To be called featherlite, I would want to see less than 2400 lbs with driver.

im no HATER......anything fast gets my attention Obviously there are smart bracket racers that take relatively mild engines and put them in light cars with 14 x 32 or whatever. they are concerned with consistency and they are still going fast for cheap. They are the smart racers out there. Meanwhile some of us chase that ET no matter what. LOL Seriously, any car thats fast and well thought out gets my attention
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....
