Some people say it doesn't do anything and say it's useless, some say it is of defnite help and aid in some way. Under extreme conditions, I can definitely understand how it has some aid, but then again it's just a thought. I for one have heard people say that they experienced wheel hop under hard take-offs much more frequently when they took them off however. So it could really go either way. But under "normally-driven" circumstances, I say they are of no true benfits worth measuring.
You want 5 pounds? I'll give ya 10, ditch some of your clothes and that big dinner you had before you went to the track.408stroker5.0 said:5lbs is alot!!!! When you look at the big picture... You take 5lbs off here, another 7lbs there, 9lbs somewhere else....before you know it you've gotten rid of 17lbs!! It all add's up man. 100lbs is a tenth in the quarter.
Oh I completely understand you and I agrre with the big items if I went all-out track car. But I mean if you get so desperate as to say you can save a lot of weight by taking out your light bulbs, license plate, spoiler, hub cabs, you get the idea - it becomes stupid. But I mean things like pass seat, rear seat, insulation, spare tire and jack, ect. are reasonable and very practical and not what I listed above.408stroker5.0 said:Some people don't care about weight while some do. Myself personally, I try to get the most out of my car, and getting rid of useless weight is one way to do so. I'm not talking about gutting the entire car, afterall it's a street car, but you'd be surprised what you can find to take off and how much all that removed weight add's up.
