1. I always drive my 2.5L with a quarter of a tank of gas I just never top off the gas tank on this car anyway (mind you, its a city car)

2. I also arrange for my rides to be for me-myself-alone (rarely need a passenger in the porsche car... mean style lol).

3. Spare tire delete? (I got stranded in a weird way so I can't really recommend this).

4. Clean and empty frunk & trunk works for me

5. Of course, performance wheels helps "a lot" but then... at a price

Garage
1. Recaro seats 42# form full leather heated power seat back 86#
2. Trunk liner battery covers spare tire sound deadening top motor carpet and front motor cover carpet 58 #
3. Stock Porsche 17" S II wheels 106# to 18" OG racing wheels X to 82#
4. Hankook Ventus Z214 from PS 2 23# on 4 tires Conti Sport contact 26#
5. Mufler Headers without cats. Mid pipes with 200 count cats. 55#
6. Stock battery 48# AGM 925 26#
7. Stock struts to Ksport lightened 24#

I guess that's about 274# plus the parts that improve the performance. I spend about 3 to 4 hours prepping the car for track days and the same putting it back on the street.
