Is it better to rip out your rear seats and throw on carbon fiber body panels, or skip over trying to be light and go straight to making your engine more buff? HP to weight ratio is always talked about when trying to make your ride go faster, but what are the limits to this? Well today, we are going to look at what happens when you get to light, and what happens to you car when you get too buff. Which one is better? Let's go.

Traction+torque curve is more important for everyday driving. I chipped my AWD Ford Fusion Ecoboost 2.0L and the traction from that AWD just helps to plant all that lovely torque all. the. time.

In addition, you can add power to a light car, but you can't always cut weight to a powerful car... that being said, gofast parts sometimes weigh more ie forged vs cast. I've had 12 ase year tech and I still learn things from this channel Thanks guys keep up the good work

More power will make you faster on straights, less weight will make you faster everywhere.

@-- A modified 2007 Seat Leon FR. Basically a VW Golf GTI with a different body.
Had me rolling when he said "I'm a power bottom!!", almost spit my food out lol.
I think there was a tiny mistake here. The graphics showed the "weight to power" ratio which the lower it is, the better. However, the power to weight ratio is always better the higher it is (P2W ratio is always desirable to be closer to 1 or greater than 1). So I think the graphics and the wordings got jumbled up over there.
But an amazing video, as always!

Do you know why this is the case? This video didn't actually explain how reducing weight improves lap times, just the limits of adding more power. I commented somewhere in this thread the actual reason reducing weight improves lap times, but using the tire model they described in the video reducing weight would have no effect on handling...

@@Brock_Corb my issue is the lack of entertainment value. we've been complaining about these videos since Jeremiah was brought onto the team. Why don't we see the complaints in the comments anymore? Probably because those people stopped watching, and I'm about to as well. I love Zach, Nolan, and James, but Jeremiah doesn't fit into the picture. From what I've read, too many people have not found him funny and the videos aren't very entertaining or informative. Nobody expects a college course, but the mistakes and lack of information we get here when Jeremiah continues to bring up the fact that he's an engineer is funnier than the lame jokes.

There's a Nova in town that has done quite a few rolling burnouts on the highway, Im pretty sure it was doing upwards of 50 before putting the pedal down.
When ragging it my Old JCW mini would get a hint of wheel spin changing into 3rd, which was over 50mph. Pretty sure if you were trying to get them to spin up you could get that to last.
@@iceniwargames6347 a hint of wheelspin isnt a burnout,friend......
I always knew 2 inches was enough, thank you Jeremiah
Would be cool to see some more details on this topic. Like a car can only get so light with a certain amount of hp, and also a car can basicly only have so many hp power but what is the weight gonna be then. When does it break even for different applications. But a good start to this topic :)
