Stock but add 5HP:

So its about equivalent to adding 5HP, but not just at peak but every RPM. Will you feel it? Nope. 55# in weight reduction alone is about equivalent to an intake... you will hear a difference but you wont feel anything 
But the way it effects your power/weight is pretty exponential as you add more power and further reduce the weight. But this only makes sense if you continue to mod.. to just take an otherwise stock G42 and remove the back seat, ya pointless.
55# is about 1.4% the weight of the car though. Cumulatively, that has got to add up right. If you were running consistent laps around a decent length track, that might show up. |
I’m planning to be a full track car. 1000+ hp and fastest track times possible. It’s not noticeable daily driving and I wouldn’t have done it if that were the case. It’s a track-focused upgrade and you really start to feel it when going into turns. It’s all about shaving as much time as possible on that track.
