Lots of people just look at the horsepower numbers. And it works if you look at sales numbers.
Drive an old M3 CSL or a 1M coupe after a 2000kg test drive then you can experience the difference! I am really curious if some of you can feel the difference!

You think that they are adding concrete to the cars to make them heavy because why not?
Come on use that brain muscle of yours. Every vehicle is getting larger and heavier. Combination of legal, safety, and environmental mandates around the world and customer demands.
All that tech and performance comes at a cost. Weight and size.
Keeping your family safe comes at a cost
Weight and size.
Trying to reduce pollution and save money on fuel comes at a cost.
Weight and size due to batteries, electrical systems and emissions systems.
And yes you can reduce the amount that a vehical is growing in size and weight by paying more money for it. That's how Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari ect... keeps the weight under check. However even that's changing now with more and more heavy hybrid systems.
