car is slightly "faster" if you had 1 gallon or less in the tank ...due to weight savings....

I know the back end feels a little different when your drifting on a full tank compared to a 1/4.

I heard that if you used water istead of gas your car is much faster because water weighs less than gas and is much more efficient due to the smaller cicumference of the superlative derivative per cubic square meter squared divided by the coefficient of the radium.










Some1 try it and let me know if the above is truf or not?

The power doesn't change. Power doesn't have anything to do with weight.
