well it depends on what type of tires you have, if you have CD's it may be better to have a less heavy car, if you have rubber fake car tires it may be better if there is more weight.

How do you make a mousetrap car pull weight?

if you mean "how do you make a mousetrap pull a car's weight" then you do it through pulleys. for example, if a mousetrap exerted 10N of force and a car needed 10000N to pull it, the pulley you use would need a distance input : distance output ratio of 1000:1 (aka if you pull one side 1000 meters, the other side moves 1 meter). this would enable you to move the car theoretically, but in reality, the distance the car moves would be so small that it would be useless, and even then, it is more likely for whatever rope/chain you are using to just stretch slightly.
