My goal for this season is to drop 150 lbs. for track purposes and I think I will be there. Muffler delete, spare tire removal, seat switch, battery switch, coilover install, sway bar switch and engine cover pad and carpet (14 lbs) should do it. As far as your "chicken wire comment" I guess I should have spent $2000 on a custom exhaust in order to get a heavier system with questionable performance. We all have different goals with our cars, my research has pointed me towards lightening the car as much as possible and that is the path I have chosen. It would be easy to follow with a few more comments, but I will take the high road with the hopes of meeting up with you at a track somewhere and getting an opprotunity to see whose car performs better.

With all due respect right back at you, please go back and re-read your post . At no time did you explain that the premise of your "modification" was to reduce weight purely for the purpose of tracking your vehicle. Rather, it reads like someone who has set out aimlessly to adulterate their vehicle with no real goal or objective in mind . As far as meeting up at the track and comparing vehicles is concerned, I suggest that you bring plenty of bubblegum for yourself ! Good luck with your project.
