Dmafanp, that's a good note about the weight. A perfect example is my vx swapped sedan that is 300 or so lbs heavier than a vx. The sedan coasts extremely well downhill with the extra weight and vx trans where on the same hill my vx sometimes needs a boost. Then again the vx takes less energy to accelerate with less weight so that balances out. My sedan also has power steering so that wil knock it down a little. On a perfectly straight road the lighter car will def outperform the heavier, but I certainly dont have perfectly straight roads around me.
