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.

Take off your passenger seat while you're at it.

You have got to be kidding... To offset weight, just keep your fuel tank less than 1/2 full. No need to remove seats......

i dont think the back seats will do much... theres a thread somewhere, where a guy removed a bunch of stuff including the insulation to lighten the weight.
yeea heres the thread on weight reduction on 6MT.net

http://www.6mt.net/forum/racing/1559...g35-coupe.html

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 $$$

Tips

I bought the G to go faster.... it sure lightened my wallet a bit!

Oh, take a big crap before a race.... gotta save at least a second off 1/4 mile...

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...
