Z's are already too heavy as is. Again there is more to a car than HP. I'm fine w/~300HP.

More like 220-230whp. So by your logic, tractor trailers shouldn't have turbos because they're "already too heavy".

OK, to add actual experience, going FI has added a noticeable amount of weight to the front end. It feels heavier in the front on a weight distribution standpoint. Its a little more "piggish" in turns. But also doubling the whp all but doesn't matter that 100 pounds was added to the front end on an acceleration stand point.

OK can we now shut up about this topic and return to retarded Facebook post? Lol

I'm sure countless Z owners have since then wrecked their car, meanwhile mine is ice-free in the garage. I now regret not simultaneously picking up emergency alcohol supplies.
Lol yeah man I get you I still wasn't sure if it was serious when I saw it on fb.

Nobody cares about handling on a tractor trailer and in any case 50-100lb on the nose of a tractor trailer won't affect it's handling like it will on a Z. Plus again straight line speed in the Z is not a priority for me. For a street car it's quick enough. And in any case my bike will do 0-100 in 10 seconds and get ~40MPG all day. So I don't need the Z to be any faster in a straight line. I'd rather make it a more entertaining drive.
