      @Elliot Rodger surprised to find someone who agrees with me here but to continue the point...
      Another issue no one talks about is overpopulation...
      Well...we already hv 7.5 billion ppl on the planet! most scientists agree ~2 billion is the carrying cap of humans... with respect to all other sentient beings. We are way over carrying capacity.... besides latest ipcc report says we only hv 10 yrs to stop runaway climate chaos! Meaning if we all dont change our lifestyles everyones kids are fkd! You know I already decided Not to hv kids! Having one kid is a lifetime of carbon emissions! And if your kids have kids that multiple generations...
      So 2 billion is a cap considering all earths species, with regard to habitat and space needed for survival. For example wolves need about 100acres of land each, for hunting/survival. On avg they generally run 20-35miles per day!! And thats just one animal... with habitat destruction, human sprawl and hunting/trapping, animals have less and less areas to survive. Thats why most are going extinct today.
      Very last white male rhino died last yr! Many shark species are considered extinct today cuz of shark fin soup fishing. N America used to hv about 60million buffalo... now we have like 31,000. We shot them all to destroy native americans' main food source! There are pics of stacked piles of buffalo bones 2 stories high... humans destroy everything!!! Everything! Not even exaggerating! N america used to look like yellowstone nat park.... all of it!! Moose, big horn sheep, elk, deer, wolves, buffalo, bald eagles, all kinds of hawks, bears everywhere, mtn lions, honey badgers, river otters, wolverines, etc etc. Why do u think thousands of ppl travel to yellowstone every yr. Cuz thats one of the last few places u can see animals living in the wild and not in a fuking tiny cage at the zoo!!! 7.5 billion humans on the planet! 7.5billion... estimated less than 10k chimpanzees!! Seriously we dont need any more human babies...

    Considering my e90 330xd has like 1800kg I wonder how much a weight reduction could shave off the 5,2 sec it has right now.

    Do some more mods to it. Maybe add a little 90degree intale pipe with velocity stack on it(like honda engine bay tuners do) maybe a couple degrees of more timing, and removing front dash would help more? Also why you lock your wheels up while braking? Threshold braking is way better.

    Hey, Car Throttle Guys, you've missed to get dash trim(includes A/C motor, glove box and things don't need in circit.) and two rear glasses, rear trim lights out. So, it should be a missing chance to reduce weight of car, which could make your Spacestar slowly. Plus, lowering suspensions by using common tools should increase downforce and lowering Center of gravity, which make more faster and increase handling.
