I took the "heat shield" off the carpet when I installed it....what a mistake that was. Interior is noisy as hell and hot as hell. Not one of my smartest ideas.

Honestly, full weight every option> losing 200lbs and its still a 12 or 13 second car most likely.

Na. It's green but no ss hood. More of a teal color anyways. C5 wheels and berger mod. I'm deleting rear seats and getting a couple racing seats up front. then probably lightweight carpet. Figure thats worth 50 lbs total.

So here is my list of **** that I have come up with for my reduction:
A/C delete
Rear seat delete
Driver and passenger racing seats
Lightweight carpet (my **** is all stained up anyways)
Battery relocated to *** end
All carpet/sound deadener removed from trunk
Spare and jack removed
Lightweight hood
And any part i buy will be the lightest weight option available as long as quality doesnt suffer.

I think thats a good list for a daily driven ride. Plus the seats will look better, the carpet will look better, etc.
