My car says it wants to get skinnier!
Not sure what the next steps would be to drop even more weight. One thing is for sure every pound lost from here on out will be more costly. Still running stock suitcase Muffler which weighs 35 lb but I'm sure aftermarket mufflers aren't that much lighter. Does anybody know the weight of the front fenders how about cars? Looking for ideas. Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what the front fenders weight but if you swap to the CF ones I wouldn't expect more than a few pounds of savings, but that and a CF hood & trunk would probably be the next logical step.
Or taking out stuff like A/C condenser and other "unnecessary hardware".

I know rear decklid is heavy but plans are for APR carbon wing and not sure about all that downforce on CF lid. Two piece rear rotors are most likely the next step. I know RB makes them but i thought another company just came out with a set too. Can't remember their name. |

just dreaming on this but...Ceramic rotors, Alcon or equivalent caliper, carbon hood, fenders, decklid, delete AC. TI exhaust, lexan rear window...
Pricey! Maybe 175lbs? No it's not going to happen but fun to think about it |
