Gutting interior

Does it really make that much of a difference performance wise if you gut your interior?

Say you throw a pebble into Grand Canyon...

It doesn't do a whole lot does it?

Now say you throw in a few billion pebbles... it'll fill that sucker..

In otherwords, EVERYTHING you do in the way of weight reduction adds up after awhile.

Take off stock hood and replace with carbon fiber, take out your interior and strip it bare, get light weight wheels blah blah blah you could shave off probably 50-60lbs.

From what I remember, every 100lbs is a 1/10th of a second in the 1320.

Regards,
OK

Inside of you car wiil be loud.

You could lose some weight yourself and maybe keep a seat or two.

Great if you wanna be a loner.

LOL I'm not concerned about losing a little weight myself...

Just up the boost

Besides, I'm 6'2 and 220ish thats good nuff for me.. Can you imagine seeing a 6'2 150lbs guy? I'd be smaller than WNT_2_Go_Fast

While you are ripping out the seats how about the dash and all plastic molding? That's sure to save you at least 10 pounds, although it will look like some vehicle out of Mad Max.....maybe you can even put some hockey gear on to have the full effect
