Hi,

@ edevlin - I think it's great you undertook this approach. Unlike simply adding more power, lightening the car not only makes it quicker, but improves the handling in the twisties as well - double bang.

Most of your weight savings have been from the front, are you concerned about weight distribution? Have you noticed any adverse effects?

You mention feeling a difference when the Tank is empty. I read that Porsche purposely set the Fuel Low/Reserve light to come on at 2.6 gal., or 10 Ltr. (approx. 16.5lbs of Fuel) in order to preserve the handling, that the car needs a certain amount of weight up front for everything to work right...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
