And then when you are 4lbs overweight, you drill two thousand holes in everything to remove the weight...
I can see where your argument is valid had we sacrificed strength for weight savings, or something similar... But in our case, we sacrificed nothing, and saved nearly 10 pounds total from our previous years chassis and drivetrain with the same if not better robustness and strength.
