Weight is weight. Lighter is better; faster or allows the weight you have to carry to be put where it is most beneficial. Dollars per pound reduction from the car is a consideration. Sprung vs. unsprung. Steel vs. aluminum vs. titanium. Mild Steel vs. Chrome-Moly. Fiberglass vs. carbon. The old expression is - The best way to save 100 pounds is find 100 places to remove a pound.

What about the lightweight transmission parts?
