First of all, Does taking out 50 pounds here 20 pounds here, really help? I'm a big guy im about 215 pounds.

If I take 200 pounds out, isn't going to make a difference?

And has anyone done any easy quick and not very noticeable weight reduction ?

 

I think its for ever 100 lbs off the curb weight is .1 off 1/4 mile or something like that, I lost 15 lbs from eating right and weightlifting I feel faster!!!

 

I tried dieting. Went from a hefty 215 to a svelt 175. I'd like to think that my G is faster, but it probably isn't.

 

we can throw on some 16" wheels, take out all the seats, take out spare tire, take off the hood, prob do 13.8 stock

 

If the G did not weigh so much we would be in the class of the M3 in terms of speed.

 

Everything out from the trunk might help somewhat...

 

and de-panel the whole rear, and ditch the passenger seat. that should help in acceleration. i used to rip out my whole rear in my previous cars and achieved some quickness.

 

Trunk and rear tires are a good idea.

I don't know about you guys, But I like to sit when I Drive, and im sure my Girlfriend would too.

Any other ideas? Trying to make it look stock still keep in mind

 

Look.....why are you even bothering?

If you wanted a lightweight car, with no interior (hense the lightweight) you should have asked for maybe an Evo...

If you really want to lighten your car, then I think you should sell it, and buy a 350z....that will lose you 200lbs right off the bat. After all, a G35 is just a 350z with stuff added to make it a more luxurious car.

 

LOL the day I sell my G35, Thanks for the slightly sarcastic answer tho =\... Just lookin for extra kick where i can gt it

 

I love my car audio....but I'm also concious of weight....So I have comprised my car audio...also it doesn't help that I'm 270lbs....ahhh but I still have beaten several cars....most notable 04' M3 convertible...yes there were 2 people in the car and the top was down...but I figure I weighed as much as both of them put together.

 

every single pounds counts = )

 

true that... why are you guys even talking about losing weight on the G35... if you don't want weight, why did you get a luxury car... and think about it logically...

200 lbs weight reduction = 0.05% weight reduction.
0.05% = small weight reduction
small weight reduction = small acceleration gain

So, no there is no way to reduce the weight enough on the G35 so as to make it noticeably faster without reducing it to a POS worthy of a Kia label.

 

I got a Lux car cuz I wanted a Lux car, wtf is the matter with wanting a small acceleration gain, Im just looking for some small ways to get a few more torque points

"Every Single Pound Counts"

So mabey I want A Fast luxury car, which is exactly what a G35 Is

 

aznshodan:

check your math.... 200lbs is 5.7% weight reduction, and it certainly matters
Unless of course you have one of those special 350,000 Lb G's, in which case it is only a 0.057% reduction....

200 LBs is huge as weight reduction goes, and if you shaved 350 lbs, that would be 10%, and have no doubt you'd know it.....

If you could easily add 10% power, you sure would


But beside the point... nothing in the car to give up to drop 200lbs
