Safe To Say? (Heavy Wheels)
Would it be safe to say that any power that I lost when adding those heavy 20'' wheels I could gain back by adding an aluminum driveshaft?

I've got Weld 20" wheels which weigh about 10lbs extra a corner, much of which can be attributed to the wider 275 tires if truth be told - no-one ever thinks about the weight of the tyre do they?
40lbs extra on a blown Mustang is a travesty and 470 lbs on a GT500 is OK......yeah right. Most mods have a weight penalty - strut braces, lower braces. If you're worried about these variations, throw away the mufflers and save 35lbs.
