What makes a fast car fast?

Do lighter cars go faster?
The amount of energy it takes to move a car from one point to another is highly dependent on the mass, so the lighter the vehicle, the less energy it takes to move it from one place to another. A lighter car is also a faster car.
Do heavier cars stop faster?
