It turns out, the much larger amount of wiring has a weight penalty! If you took the modern car, somehow made it carbureted, with manual everything, it would be a lot lighter than any car of the '50s.

It seems like a fundamental tenet of design- any time you gain an advantage, you must fill it with new gizmos.
