sure it is....


Older cars weighed less. A lot less in some cases. That is why they seemed more powerful.

my favorite older car is a 89 mazda 626 turbo. it had 130 hp and weighed 1800lbs. the thing flew.

get rid of a few hundred pounds of yaris and the car will get better.

however with safety standards, airbags(gag), and other crap, cars are forced to weigh a ton more and get worse gas mileage.

oh, btw, that civiv that got 50 mpg? its 0-60 was like 25 seconds.
