Default candidate for weight reduction in LC F

While the rear seats in the LC look good, they are virtually useless because of the lack of leg room. I kind of wish Lexus had not put them there, instead creating an honest 2-seater with better trunk space and a lighter weight vehicle. I wonder if they will do that with the LC F since the rumors say it will weigh less (of course, there are lots of other ways, many more expensive, to do that).

I would of also prefered they went with a rear storage area like the AM Vantage I had before.

Performance package already does this and replaces it with a CF roof.

Actually, it's made by laminating $100 bills into a mat. And has the same effect on performance... and your wallet.
Not sure if this is sarcasm or not. I’ve modded my fair share of cars over my life and weight reduction mods are always the most expensive out of the bunch. Either way cf roof or not weight reduction helps in all aspects, cornering, braking, aceleration ect.

Then again, I drive my LC at 3/10ths 98% of the time. It’s a GT car I use it as such.
