Weight for sure - you'll get handling AND lbs/hp improvements, so it's a win-win vs. win-lose

Default Weight. Because I couldnt get 10% in hp increase before :P But seriously, my car with 130lbs less
during track events out corners lots of cars. One of these days, I'll take out another 150lbs off the car, and 20lbs off me, should make it more agile.

Just dawned on me... when registering your vehicle they do it based on the weight of your car
