nothing so nefarious. different people want different things from their cars - some want to keep all the creature comforts, while others want stripped-out autocross weapons. so, for those unwilling to remove ac, airbags, carpet, etc., performance is found elsewhere. those who want/need 100% from their car do everyhting they can. and for some, getting the most out of the machine is a challenge, hobby, etc. been done with porsches (and cars) since the start.
to answer your question, anything can be removed from the car, or lightened - what are your personal limits - can you do without ac? would you drive without airbags? need a stereo? can you live with the added heat and vibration that comes with removing the carpets? are you ok with a manual roof? can you afford fg body panels? will your conscience allow you to remove the charcoal canister? remove your bumpers? drill holes in your radiator brackets?
