cam02ss, I just did a big weight reduction on my Z too. I took the entire interior out, and got rid of everything that wasn't necessary. I took out the back seats, all the safety restraints for the back seats, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Dude, that carpet weighs a 100 lbs easy. About 80% of the weight is sound deadening and insulation. It is a real PITA to get all that stuff off the carpet though, some kind of crazy factory glue on there. I filled up a damn big black Hefty bag with the stuff. I got a huge pile of crap, including my 10" sub box and amplifier, that I am going to weigh. It has to be at least 200 lbs!
I still wanted it to look good though, for dates with hotties. So I left the plastic trim, and put that trunk flap back in there so you can't see the back where I took everything off. It almost looks like it came from the factory like that! Only thing though, where the bottom back seats are they cut the carpet for some kind of mount, and it sticks through on both sides.
If you have a power driver's seat, then there is another 20 or 30 lbs right there. I would like to find a gray leather passenger seat from somewhere, cause that thing is much lighter than that damn power seat. Or, I might just save up and get some Recaro seats!
