Subject: faster?

Body:
faster?

I was wondering if anyone knew if the 87 mclaren was faster than a
same year gt or lx. I purchased one new and I seemed to be able to
beat the both of them "in a straight line" whenever I raced them. I
was wondering if this was due to a weight reduction because of no
back seat,a very light roof "no glass" and a non mechanical
convertible system,or maybe just a weight distribution change. Anyway
it seemed to me if I could get off the line without too much burn I
would win almost every time. I have since modified different things
on the car but kept the stock look and find launching the car can be
a real balancing act. too much tirespin and I'm dead
