Oh yeah... don't get caught up on power either...

Some of the AMG and Audi S/RS cars are VERY heavy... sometimes almost 1,000 lb over similar rivals.

My last car was an S4... which actually weighed MORE than the M6, with 160 less hp and a much smaller platform lol

Here's a great example of a car getting bloated:
E30 M3 - 2,865 lb / 235hp
E36 M3 - 3,219 lb / 240hp
E46 M3 - 3,415 lb / 333hp
E92 M3 - 3,704 lb / 414hp

Although the newest M3 is nearly 200hp stronger than the original, most consider the original the best over all M3. Meaning it's the most fun car to drive.
