my stang has/had power windows, locks, moonroof, 4 wheeler disks, ac, cruise, full suspension, big front and rear sways.
weight isnt everything you need to have a platform capable of handling the power. if top fuel/funny car dragsters werent made out of high tech super lightweight components they would weight a lot.
