PS onehundred80 weighs ......... Ta Daaaa 180 lbs, my goal is 175. I was 190 two years ago and the car does not seem any livelier.....pity.
I weigh in at 145lbs............fatty!! J/K
I've got a buddy that has a SRT-8 300C and literally weighs 400lbs and wonders why his car is so slow and he goes through brakes faster than most.
To the OP........there isn't much that you can actually take out of these cars to reduce any significant weight........without spending money. The seats don't weigh that much, the interior panels don't weigh that much, the hood insulation is like a feather and so on. The only way to shave real weight is to spend some/lots of money.........small lightweight battery, 2 or 3 piece lightweight wheels, two piece brake rotors, custom CF or fiberglass hood, CF racing seats, etc.
