[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16078423, member: 155561"] It doesnt matter, more is still more. More HP means suspension and chassis need to be beefier, which adds weight. Since the car now has more HP and weight it needs more brakes and rim / tire, which adds weight. Everything needing to be beefier consequently causes everything else to need to be beefier and the weight keeps going up. Also, it's not strictly components but again the cost of consumables. A Gt500 will kill tires, brakes, ball joints, and other suspension components faster than a lighter car (when we're talking track driving applications). That is just a fact of physics that no amount of "engineering" will get around. [/QUOTE]
