Re: lookin to shave weight
A carbon fiber driveshaft won't save any real weight. Best bet would be what you have, plus a stall or lightweight flywheel, underdrive pulley, remove the AIR/EGR, take off the front sway bar, lightweight carpet, lighter seats, LIGHT WHEELS, remove the bumper supports, or even go to a fiberglass hood and fenders.

Consider lightweight glass hood as well as front bumper support if you are hardcore hehe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
