Weight Reduction ???

Not disagreeing there's value in reducing personal mass - there are MANY benefits to this completely unrelated to driving - but there's still only so much you can safely drop from your personal mass.
When I road raced motorcycles and bicycles, I weighed between 165 and 172 lbs. I'm 6' 2". I looked like a stick boy, but I was racing against guys weighing 30 lbs less and I needed every advantage I could get.

Omg people here are hard core , i did all these sords of thngs on my last ride ,
No carbon parts because some times if not all of the time they are heavier than aluminum
But removed air bags , bumoer beams, suspension parts, seats, interior parts , spare , jack , tools , seats , steering wheel , dummy seat on the back, rims etc i manage to reduce arround 300 pounds and still looked legal. But if you ask me now was not worth it the noises , the smell, the car felt really gast but very loose not unstable but loose its hard to explain i hade 675 whp on that ride !!! So in that manner is different but i wouldnt do that on the F never
On the F i would
Replace batery
Remove tools , and spare, no need for engine cober or spare cover they are light
Carpets( if im dragging or racing)
Less then 1/4 of gas
Windshield wiper empty
Nothing in the car but me
And thats it for me

I think I may have to get the Odyssey PC680T battery to shed some weight. I will put this in the trunk in case I have any problems. It offsets more than half of the weight savings, but on the plus side it will be helping move some weight from front to rear...plus I'll have the ability to put air in the tires, and have a USB power source.

We still have a few sets of 2P rotors in stock for some real weight savings.
20lbs of rotating mass.

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not having bought them from you at the introductory pricing...I could have saved myself $400 or so. BTW, I thought it was 23 lbs of rotating mass saved...
