I have only formed my opinion on good process and that weight (taken by itself) is not a good thing. You would agree on point two I hope.
It should not be in any doubt that the car with extra weight will perform worse in the braking zone and corners, with a GOAL (removing of the RP) of making it better on the straight.
The only open question is am I better able to defend mid straight into the brake zone. Again, my ability to defend in this situation can be addressed in two ways: One, give it more HP. Two, make it handle better and carry more speed off the corner. You have pointed out many times that a small increase in exit speed translate to a bunch of straight line speed.
Do any of the above statements seem wrong or naive based on no experience or that I am not qualified to have these opinions? Exactly what in the above comments makes me crazy?
I never used naive I'll use passionate
I think perhaps using worse and better can be part of the problem.. Try substituting more similar and less similar?
1.8 cars use same brakes 94-05.. will stop the same
1.8 uses bigger brakes than 1.6 but weighs more.. Your braking will be similar to 1.6 and identical to NB. No issue IMO
if the car performs more like an NB car now with added power and weight, you should NOT lose to NB cars out of the corner either. You were accelerating less weight with less power before. Again.. give it a chance..
Your statements below I agree and are accurate...
