Light weight battery drops 15 pounds. Removing spare and jack and tools another 30 pounds. Cross drilled rotors drop some weight where it matters most. Light weight forged wheels also drop some good weight.

my car weighs 2535lbs with rollcage and about 2/3 of a tank of fuel...... it should lose some more weight when i remove my a/c compressor & heater core but I am adding a bling bling wing and a heavier front sway bar, so I may be back up to 2535lbs by the time I am done..... i need to keep the dashboard in tact or that would probably be another 15lbs or so....
I also have about 15lbs worth of fire extinguisher mounted on my passenger side floor.
no airbags, carpet, race seat, no plastic anywhere, no side windows, no soft top (hard top is in place), 7lb ti exhaust, tein coilovers, Rota front wheels, stock rears, cruise removed.
Besides me getting a lighte cage (not happening) there is not a whole lot left to knock out..... i guess all of the side impact beams and front and rear, but if I wreck it would do tons more damage....
