Last weekend I was actually working by a slalom section and was able see how different cars took the slalom. It seemed like the more heavier cars (F-Bodies, Mustangs, Corvairs, etc.) were accelerating hard before they got to the slalom, braking a little, and coasting through them with only minimal throttle. The lighter cars that were there (SE-R, FC3S, Integra) showed a general pattern of not accelerating as much as the heavier cars, but the light cars went through the slalom at probably 50-60% throttle. This is only what I personally saw. I went through the slalom accelerating a bit and keeping my RPMs up so I could have more power exiting into the next section.
