That reminds me of when back in the 80's, a car magazine, I think it was Hot Rod, took an old Cadillac to the drag strip to demonstrate how weight effects your ET at the strip.

They started out with like 6 people in the car and the trunk stuffed full, at the end, they had cut away everything but the frame, drive train, and steering wheel.

It went faster with each step until it got too light to get traction with the huge Cadi motor.
