I dont know how I found this old thread, but I got a chuckle out of it when I read it. I can now add GT3 seats to the weight-reduction program for an additional weight savings of about 40 lbs, over stock seats, no wonder the car feels like it is floating sometimes......

"Here are my estimates of weight reduction efforts so far:

1. Lightweight flywheel, about 15 lbs lighter

2. Braille Lightweight Battery good 30 lighter (it weighs 15 lbs)

3. Replace spare tire with tire plugging kit and pump 25 lbs lighter

4. Headers and high-flow cats 20 lbs lighter than stock

That's about 90 lbs lighter than stock, which on a 2000 2.7L puts the dry weight of the car just under 2700 lbs."
