    umm, people, you are missing something. in removal of 300 pounds fron
the front, you are also removing 300 pounds from the CAR. Who cares about
traction loss, its counteracted by the less weight that you are accelerating
to begin with.
    on top of that, removing weight from the upper portion of the car lowers
the pivot arm that the car takes upon acceleration. this results in less
weight shift from front wheels to rear wheels.
