Default 02 WS6 Weight loss??

New to the TA/LS1 world. My last set up was a 94 Z28 and this WS6 feels like a tank compared to the Camaro. Curious if anyone has some suggestions on how to shed off some weight in this thing. Spare tire/jack are out and I've done lots of suspension stuff other then a K-Member and upper control arms which I know shed weight.

Thanks!

There's a few off-the-wall ideas listed, but the majority is good stuff.

The power leather interior adds quite a bit of weight over the standard cloth seats. Also, T-Tops are indeed heavier than a standard hard top.
