Re: what all can be done for weight reduction? You can pull the rear seats and even the passenger front if you want to go that far. Go with about a 1/4 tank of gas, too.

Re: what all can be done for weight reduction? then inhale helium before you hop in and bust a quarter
or just fill your car up with helium ballons
would that actually work?

Romoval of seats could save some weight, the rear window weighs a bit but cant do without that really, if you have t-tops keep them in as removing them will cause drag. Try to lighten up the tires, filling them with helium probably wont work, but the tyres and rims can be heavy, once they are turning they wont weigh much due to the centrefugal forces but they have dead weight when you launch.
