[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 889761, member: 13254"] My point is that aerodynamics and lighter weights don't improve hauling, pulling capabilities which is my idea of high performance in a vehicle. I agree they do aid in reducing fuel consumption and speed, just not in payload abilities. There does though need to be a balance in the two. Example: This past week I was , off and on, working of getting rid of some hedges next to my house. After cutting them close to the ground I still had the root balls to get out. The light weighted car in Menotyou's video would not have done the job even if you could find a place to hook up a chain. The tires would just spin on the driveway do to lack of traction. When I pulled them out with my heavier pickup, I didn't even have to accelerate to get the job done. saving me around $300 bucks to have a professional to do the job. That is what I call high performance. Aerodynamics would not have made a difference and a lighter weight would have been a detriment. [/QUOTE]
