A number of years ago, when my second passion was "Muscle Cars", my petite wife (105# wet-from the shower) used to kick butt all over town. I used to go to coffee with business associates, and hear about some "stop light drag" where she left someone in her dust. She definitely had a weight advantage, but she could also drive better than most. Don't put the ladies down too much, or you might get the surprise of your life one day.
