The term go fast with class orginated with the Buick GS guys in the early 80's in response to gutted Chevies common at the time. The GS guys and turbo Buick guys carry this on today. You will almost never see a gutted turbo Buick. Even the sub 9-second cars typically have full interiors, many still have A/C. That doesn't mean that they're against cutting weight, they just don't cut weight in an obvious manner. Steel rear brake drums are replaced with aluminum brake drums. Steel bumper braces are replaced with aluminum bumper braces. Lately people have been dropping weight by converting to an aftermarket all aluminum engine. Carbon fiber and fiberglass body parts(paint matched to the car) are very common. This is one of the reasons nobody can tell a 14 second Buick from a 10 second one. The other rule about the Buicks is that the cleaner the body is, the faster the car is, which is certainly true here in C-U. The cleanest, lowest mileage car in town is also the 10-second car, my car is somewhere in between, and then there are some stock beaters running around.

Miami has run into this with his car, some people are scared to run him because his car has so much obvious weight reduction done to it(even when he claims to not have any engine mods, hahahaha ). Marcus never seems to have that problem.
