             Kit,
                 I'll grant you light cars stopper better than heavy cars 
in most instances. I can't change the laws of physics. I do not 
agree that that a light car will be faster because it probably has a 
fraction of the torque and horsepower of a bigger heavier car. I also 
disagree that a small light car handles better than a larger heavier 
car. Look at how many times the SS Corvettes have taken top time 
of day or Pax'd TTOD. 

             Just an observation but I rarely see small rice burners at 
open track events with the exception of the last gen RX-7's. In a 
venue where speed, handling and braking are equalized the bigger 
high horsepower cars are always going to be faster. If you think I'm 
off base your welcome to come down to Buttonwillow on June 10th 
and show me how much faster your ? is than my Corvette. FWIW.

 Hmmmmm. . . perhaps that's because -- all else being equal --
 lighter cars are faster, handle better and stop quicker?
