I agree that it is minimal, but I disagree that it is insignificant. Your car is more tossable/maneuverable with a lower center of gravity, versus a higher center of gravity. I don't think you'd need me to cite a source for that one. It's about as basic as you can get.
I do need you to cite a source for the hard to believe claim that 8lb off the roof of a car with these specs/dimensions makes a measurable difference in performance. As of right now no one here has even come p with the MUCH easier to provide calculation of the actual change in forces.

So YES I need you to cite it, quantify it via legit calculation or stop claiming that your GUESS is any more legit than mine.
