It doesn't sound like much, and I suspect straight-line speed would not be improved by a great deal, but the car would feel much more nimble.
Has anyone here been serious enough about weight reduction to get their cars below 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs)? So many threads on this board are concerned with people going to great lengths (and great costs) to extract a few hp. I am yet to see someone spend the same sort of time and money dropping serious weight, which in my opinion, would make these cars a LOT more fun.

As my Boxster is a 100% dedicated racing car, I am constantly looking to reduce weight - I would love to get under 1000kg, and hope to do so one day.
But I also have to make sure the car does not get to light as that will push me into the same class as the 997 Cup cars and then I will have no chance
