Unless your car is caged or at the track on a regular you shouldn't be worrying about 'weight'!

You have got to be kidding!! Excess weight? Remember to take a crap before getting in the car too, and always drive hungry. That could be a pound or 2. Only enough gas to make it to the next station and run 1 quart low on oil all the time. Another couple pounds! I'm sorry, that's just funny that you would worry about the weight so much.

Every time I hear or read someone saying that about the "excess" weight in their street car I keep thinking about what I weighed in at on the scale at the gym. If I really wanted to put my car on a diet I'd actually put myself on one to do it!
