Made a weight disovery in my 944 Turbo.
After the car was setup I set FTD. I then took a 300lb person for a fun run lap. The timing equipment was accidentally left on and I matched my fastest time with the extra 300 lbs. One thing I did notice is that with passenger my top speed was lower on the straight. That told me the extra weight negatively effected the acceleration and braking, BUT was made up for in higher cornering speeds.
That was when I stopped taking things out of my car to lighten it up for faster lap times autocrossing. Just took loose thing out to keep them from shifting around to being thrown free.
Had similar results with my BoxsterS and giving fun run rides after the timed laps.
