I agree that the car is too heavy, but with the platform being the same, I didn’t really expect any weight loss. What I don’t understand is how the car weighs so much more than a Mach 1 when it’s essentially the same car. If you go by Car and Driver’s weight measurements, the DH weighs anywhere from 130-200 lbs more than the Mach 1 (the two articles I looked at had different weights listed; the heavier car was an automatic).It doesn’t change the fact the DH is 400 pounds heavier than it should be. And I’m sorry but the tweaks to the engine for a measly 14hp cannot overcome its heft. The suspension is wasting half its energy trying to keep that pig in contact with the road.
