I was reading an article about rear ends built specifically for racing by having weight reductions to the outer case. They mentioned a 6 lb. reduction in weight was equal to gaining 1 horsepower. If in fact that is correct...a 200 lb weight difference is a win win. Better handleing and less power reguired. Just something else to complicate things.
