M8 is 85' long, 3000 is 60'1" M8 is 10'6" feet wide, 3000 is 9'1" M8 is 65,700 kg, 3000 is 33,000 kg what's wrong with that picture?
Despite only being a little larger, the M8 has *twice* the mass as the 3000; this means more wear & tear and slower accel/decel
did they build the M8 out of dark matter? How do you get that heavy without being larger?
just heavier metal AFAIK, not sure about the details
