OK, I guess I'd better 'splain that.....

I know that 2750# is not "heavy" compared to some other cars.

However, when one is running against 2350# Neons, and has only 5 more
horsepower ( a hush sweeps over the awed crowd), *then* 2750# becomes
relatively heavy.

D Stock Neons use 225 tires; I'm *trying* to use 225 tires (Do NOT try to get
them from Liberty Tire BTW). Same size tire, 400 more pounds!

Does that make more sense?
