You want to test the acceleration of two cars. The first car looks and sounds really fast, has a massive marketing campaign behind it, promoted by professional race car drivers, etc. The second car looks and sounds like an older family car and is more or less unknown. Unknown to you, both cars accelerate from 0 to 60 at exactly the same time.
Which car will „feel“ faster?
The lighter one
+1
Btw, I took a ride in a Jeep SRT last week and although it weighed considerably more than my current personal ride, it felt brutally fast. Technically both accelerate from 0 to 60 at just about the same time (I believe one tenth of a second difference) but the Jeep has 230 more horsepower than mine.
