I know a lot people take out the spare tire and jack. There are a lot of things to take out, it just depends on what you can live with.

I figure I could loose about 25 lbs if I went on a diet.
Maybe that's motivation, loose weight=faster WS6

Removed my rear seats right off the bat.

HAHAHA..... Actually, I've increased weight in my car. SFC's and 315's haven't helped any.

the back seats dont weigh more than a case of beer

[FuhBreezeE]

I know that, I removed them. Gives me an excuse not to give more than one person a ride. Plus I think it gives it a cleaner look. My opinion.

[TransAm11973]

fuhbreeze ....you got any pic of the inside after the seats were removed?

Hell yeah!!!! I need to lose about 60lbs, which I just bought an exercise bike to accomplish. There's a 60lbs loss to the weight of my car.
