heh anyways,
regarding the civic, lightweight makes for better handling with
regards to inertia, but, at high speeds, makes it unstable. F1 cars
depend on their excellent aerodynamic efficiency to keep them down,
u notice how a simple loss of downforce thru damage makes the car
that much more unpredictable.
while a civic is lowerpowered and thus easier to manage, at 200km/h
being a roadcar, even with added aero devices, it is not as stable
as one would prefer. between bhp and weight, i'd elect to have more
bhp than lighter weight, for the simple reason that, with the
addition of the driver, the bhp/tonne is less affected.
still... a civic, even the type R, is a civic. it is wayyyyyyy too
light. the only way to make cheap, decently fast cars, is to make
'em light. but hey guess what? what u get is an unstable car, too
light to handle its power, and really no better than a cardbox box
in event of a crash.
so... no thanx. i have money which could be better spent
elsewhere.
