I had a serious discussion with a friend over the following issue: if a car takes a corner on the limit, would a lighter car be faster? In other words, is centrifugal force greater if a heavier car describes the same constant radius curve? I always assumed a lighter car could bear higher speed through the corner, but I am not sure. I do know that lighter cars have superior acceleration and deceleration abilities, and they have less tendency to roll due to their lower inertia. But what about the speed in a constant radius bend?
