I played the weight reduction game years ago. It is expensive but damn its worth it! There is an article on the vette forum right now where one shop is challening another to see who can get their Z06 from 3,100 down to 2,800 while still keeping it street legal, and full interior. They both have by now spent close to 10k each and are still 100lb short of their goal. Cool thing is; they are posting the results of every part and its weight reduction for all to see!

That's the only reason the Stang can beat Geos now. Took the spare tire and radio out. Weight reduction baby!!! Next up. Saturn's!

Really though 300 lbs is a good bit of weight on some of the newer cars. I stumbled across some place that sells repoduction body parts in carbon fiber. Was light (6 lbs for a set of fenders) but was damn expensive. Close to a grand for the set if I remember.
