Yes, Trick cars are heavy(dual sport) Aaron's, Jerry's, and mine.
They do have a sand version though and thay are a little bit lighter in weight.
My car weighs around 3100-3300lbs. I have a ls2(550hp) and a S4D tranny with 38" paddles and I can still to this with 3 people(picture shows 2 but I've done it with 3)
I don't think the weight robs that much power IMO, either way I still think my car is plenty of fun :angry2:
