Dont go too crazy with weight reduction...

Every 100lbs lost is 1/10th gained in the 1/4 mile. I rather have my AC, rear seat (cramped... but it serves its purpose...), and sterio than be 1/10th faster at the strip.

It does more for handling IMO, the car would be easier to toss around then.

Why would you go on a forum and lie about winning money, owning a V6, then GT, then a cobra and using god knows how many differnt names. Someone needs to grow up. Im blocking him also.
