Wow!!! That is some serious weight savings! I'm sure everything is stripped, including the A/C and interior, right?

Just an observation, but possibly valid. Seems that the engineers that designed this car to have a perfect 50/50 weight distribution to get optimum handeling and control. I would think that if you upset the balance, what advantage you might gain in speed, you would lose in stability..........

My front to rear weight balance stands at 51% front. True that is not 50% but it is pretty damn close.
