I think it's possible to match, for example, a stock 350z in acceleration by losing 150-200 lbs off the car. You'll end up shaving time off the corners too. It just costs money to do it in a way that uses high tech materials, but it's not a meaningless endeavour - just an expensive one.
I totally agree.
I'm surprised no one mentioned a carbon fiber or fiber-glass hood. Smaller and lighter rims.
A long time ago, I was "forced" to own a Mitsu 3000GT-VR4 and it was a serious modify/track street legal car. For those familiar with that car, you'll know it's seriously heavy. We replaced the steel parts on the body with custom moulded parts made of lighter materials and put tubular cro-mo space frames underneath to ensure that rigidity and integrity wasn't compromised.
It can be done and it might cost quite a lot, but if done right, the results won't be trivial.
