I know it sounds strange, but some people actually enjoy using the steering wheel for something other than a handle while they bang through the 1/4 mile. Strange idea, isn't it? I kinda like to turn mine... Sometimes I even turn it a lot.

Handling is a given, but what about weight savings? Significant?
