Id have thought lowering the cars centre of gravity would have a more profound effect on how the car drives?......from the top down.
Roof panel? Evo MR's have a lighter alu roof panel.
Bonnet and bootlid............
Seats
Front mounted intercooler....Why did subaru plonk the intercooler on top of a piping hot engine?????
I cant imagine a car with 300 bhp would feel any different by removing a spare wheel. Im my first car...a saxo vtr it did make a big difference as I only had 89bhp to play with. All the stuff adds up of course.
The dc2 weighs 1060 and has aircon and powersteering but has thinner glass, no soundproofing etc etc. Car feels light as a feather to drive with 208bhp@8775. I will miss it when its gone
