Maybe you're missing the point. One person does not an average make. We're talking about average stock performance here. Not questionably stock, built-on-a-Wednesday fluke performances.

Is there any special reason why it takes you 2 or 3 posts to say what everyone else manages to compress into only one?

if we're talking about 1/10th of a second faster... driver weight would apply to a faster 0-60 time.. just stating a fact.

WHY EVEN BRING UP GO KARTS... what about pocket rockets... etc. no shizzle that driver weight may affect the "A REAL CAR" less, but there is still an affect. period.

plus there are many conditons that affect a stock car, including air conditions.

You said history cannot be changed.. yet.. IT CAN... someone else can do it, or do it somewhere else. think about it...

oh ya if you try to rip on my statements... atleast do a good job.

Thanks, no one had thought of that yet.

A very, very small one. Not 0.5 seconds worth. Not even 0.1 second, on average.

plus there are many conditons that affect a stock car, including air conditions.
A car may make more horsepower in cooler air, but the colder tires and pavement will offer less traction. There are trade offs, obviously.

You said history cannot be changed.. yet.. IT CAN... someone else can do it, or do it somewhere else. think about it...
Maybe you should think about what you just said and how little sense it makes.

oh ya if you try to rip on my statements... atleast do a good job.
What's the point? You're not worth the effort.

Boy, that was clever. I'd better watch out. You might use your lightning-fast reflexes on me and triple-post me into submission.
