Lighten a GTO
Does anyone here have any ideas on how to lighten a GTO? I want to make sure if I buy one I'm not completely stuck with 3700 pounds to lump around.
I was thinking you could put a CF hood on it and like a lot of people do, move the battery to the back to help out with weight dist. Also, what wheels are lighter then others? I know wheels and brakes can add a lot to a car and since I'd want to change both anyway what do you guys recommend?

CF hood, lighter spoiler-I *think* Gravana makes a CF OEM spoiler. SLP, BMR skidguard. There are many wheel choices(Stern, CCW, Motegi, etc.) so the choice is yours.
extreme dimensions, driveshaft shop, harrop, hid(35watt/6k) lows, hurst, k&n, led fogs, maverick man, mishimoto, nitto, revshift, slp, stern st-1, smoked sidemarkers, whiteline poly radius rod bushings

Once you mod, you can't even tell.

I weighed 3450 empty last night when I ran 11.71 on the motor so it can be dealt with.
