A great example of how weight affects performance is FSAE/Formula Student type cars. Typically cars will weigh less than 200kg but only have 50-70hp as they are limited by a 20mm diameter restrictor in the intake system.
So what happens when you put a 470bhp Merc E55 AMG against one of these cars ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmp1LiCY5dM "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere." - Colin Chapman, the legendary F1 engineer
