Removing weight is dangerous because it can take away a primary potentially valid excuse for why you are slower than others. I removed 200 lbs from my car this winter . . .
each unsprung 10 lbs of weight loss = 1 hp regained at the wheels
As stated, it is nearly impossible to come up with a forumla that accounts for all variables, but in general, I think the 10lbs = 1hp works. Especially when that weight is located between the steering wheel and seat!
Hey - that's my motivation to get off my fat butt and loose some weight! And I really don't need any complicated forumla involving 2 times the square root of pi to know that dropping pounds off my body will help.
-Z-man.
PS: Did someone mention pie? Mmmmm - apple pie - Mmmm
