why is that a rice boy?... it applies to domestic muscle cars as well genious ... If you drag race you realize .1 sec in a quarter mile is substantial!

I took my tires off, those things are heavy, riding on rims right now. I'm also thinking about getting rid of the driver's seat, pretty positive that's the heaviest seat since it has all the motors in it, will replace it with a kitchen stool.

Great plan. Make sure you use an aluminum stool with a sticker on it - those are the best.

I'd also remove all the paint and primer, run one quart low on oil, drain the wiper fluid, take the valve stem caps off, remove the gas flap, remove two lug nuts per wheel, remove all the glass, and wear goggles when I drive.

many of them go to great lengths to lighten their cars... they would blast the posters in here poo-pooing ways to lose car weight... they would also smoke 'em on the track.

if you removed the power window motors and made the door CF you actually would notice a difference...

Power to weight ratio is a factor.
