My 30 year old 500E (like it's sister the 300CE (coupe) 3200lb) are both heavy cars (3700Lbs) and at
100mph150mph are very secure on the roads. This car has be track proven to do 170MPH one the limiting device and chips were upgraded.
A new Z-28 Camaro weighs in at 3820lbs
A New Nissan GT-R weighs, wait for it, oh it's 3933lbs
Light and feathery my ass

In comparison to smaller, lighter cars it may not feel as light and feathery. But that's more of a driving feel thing than anything else.
And quite frankly, i prefer heavier cars at higher speed freeway driving.
Lighter cars feel like they bounce and flow with the road. Heavier cars feel firmly planted, even at 100mph.
