What would be the increase in weight? What would be the decrease in speed? What would be the level of protection? Can you think of a better type of armor?

Any idea?

It depends of quality of steel found and thickness (Armor Value). The T2K book has some math on this subject - weight increase is as weight of said plates - decrease in speed depends of what kind of car/truck etc its put on- some more powerfull motors would basically just have increased fuel consumption where as a armor plated mini-morris would probably have decreased speed,manouvrability/controll and increased fuel consumption.
