Heyyyy...good idea

Actually...I havent even gotten to the expensive stuff like lightweight brakes. That may be another 20-30 lbs...not sure, but some of that will be rotating mass as well.

Actually...you will see very little diference in the car at all. Still has the big heavy leather race seats, carpet, all interior (except back seat), power windows, There is just alot of bracketry and other items that just arent needed.
