do you guys think removing back seat is worth it?
you guys have too many tools and too much time to work on your cars to remove all those stuffs. i just did the windowless mod and broke all the windows with a hammer. make sure you hit from the inside out so you get less broken glass inside, because broken glass still adds weight. i'm also thinking about keying my car to scrape some of the paint off. and i always vomit before i drive anywhere. also, i never fill my tank up past 1/8 full.
I think you guys are taking this a little too far. But realistically there aren't many things that you can make to go this car faster (besides replacing or modifying the engine ofcourse) This car is designed as a daily mid-luxury sports coupe, not a high performance coupe.

pretty interesting but in all reality theres not much you can do without sacrificing convenience (which is probably why we took the G over the Z) or a grip load of $$$
some of you guys act like the seat weigh nothing
Or that weight savings doesn’t help lower times
That’s one of the reasons why coupes can’t believe they get beaten by sedans so often...
Power to weight ratio is a big factor... so stop acting like weight savings does nothing...
Admittedly, the loss of a back seat for daily driving is not worth anything... but at the track things like that really help... that’s why I'd have a Z for road racing and not the coupe or sedan...

This topic and discussion thread reminded me of an old article about finding "free power"....enjoy..
