Weight reduction list!!!
How does one go about removing the cruise control stuff?
*edit* Started taking some stuff off. Windshield wiper fluid tank with roughly 1/3 full weighed a little over 4.5 pounds...Can't get much more on the nose of the car than that

Incase no ones said it already, the best weight reduction mod I've done was use a plasma cutter on my Z28. I went a little crazy with it to trim as much excess off the car as possible but not many people can tell what I trimmed off unless there's another Z28 there to compare to.
