From a Top Gear interview...
“Thinking that my car is too heavy is a mistake!” he says, clapping his hands together for emphasis. “All journalists say [affects a funny voice]: ‘GT-R is heavy, heavy, heavy - it should be lighter, lighter, lighter!’ I say, journalists need to develop a more professional level of thinking! More study! More thought! The GT-R needs to be this weight. A car with less weight does not handle. Lighter weight can be dangerous. And it will not be drivable by all customers. You have a responsibility for the customer. I have a big responsibility for the customer!”
That's from Godzilla's chief engineer Mizuno-san, not me. So what's a couple hundred pounds if you aren't Lewis Hamilton?

Sorry, I have to agree. 3 cars = a post with 3 pictures of the corner weights. This type of information isn't suited to a video and it's annoying to see a post that intentionally has a link to a video when the info could just be in the post. Post a video if you did a track day or are replacing your air filters.
