The way I look at it is like this: it's something that you don't notice in any one bump in the weight, but if you combine all of the "little" weight increases over models and years and yet more models and years, you suddenly look back and think "wow - that's a lot of weight that's been added". It's the same thinking that justifies the few pounds of their own weight one might put on every year. It's never the individual weight increments, it's how they accumulate over time. And you definitely feel that weight (either as a human or in a car).

And it's not just about tracking and track days. It's every time you take the car out onto any kind of winding course - be it a track or some superb twisties in the mountains.
