What would the acceleration difference 0-100km/h be between a sv6 wagon and sedan considering weight difference is 1732kg vs 1640kg just wondering if it’s enough to make a difference.

General consensus was 100lbs is about a tenth in the 1/4

Doubt you'd barely notice the difference with heavy car v6 firepower

Unsprung weight is said to have a much bigger impact on acceleration, braking and changing direction then the weight of the vehicle.
So a sedan with a 100kg passenger would be slower than a wagon with driver only?

I'm just saying it is considered in all forms of motorsport that 1 kg of unsprung weight is equal to 2 kg of body weight, that includes F1 to drag racing and every form of racing in between.
