correct me if I'm wrong. even if we lightened the crank pully and something else even by a massive 20kg of weight reduction, isn't that the car weight itself (more than 1000kg) will give the momentum/inertia (what ever u call it) to make the car keep on moving if we take our feet off the accelerator?

QUOTE(the_catacombs @ Jul 10 2010, 11:38 AM) wrong... when u use LCP, u lightened the angular momentum of ur rotating crankshaft... not lightening the kerb weight of ur car... whenever we revs up, the engine requires more power to spin the rotating crank due to heavier momentum... by lightening it, this reduces parasitic drag of it... i know the LCP will is not meant for lightening the kerb weight of the car, but during the gear being engaged and we take our feet off the accelerator, does the car really stop much faster than normal one? because the car weight itself got a huge mass (1000++kg) so still got alot of momentum to keep it running for a while.  Unless, we disengage the gear, then it should feel likes the rev will easy to climb and easy to drop as well. What do you think? |
