 I dont even want to think about weight reduction on a sedan, it would take a month just to remove all the shit. If I ever was to go run my 1/4 mile, I would take out the system for sure, seats and spare, and the right headlight so I could have a little bit of forced induction going on People tell me I should throw the steelies back on if I go but from what I have heard the VX rims are lighter, but I might end up throwing on the steelies anyway cause I dont want to fuck up my new tires. Then again, I will probably never even go out to the track so fuck it:finger:

Can you feel a difference? Ive been wondering whether to gut the back of my car or not. I know eventually I will, but thinking about doing it now, since the back has no purpose since the subs are gone.

Put your strut bar back in.
You know what you need to do travis? You need to buy another hatch, totally strip it out and make it race-only, and save your ZC hatch for show/daily-driver... I'm very seriously considdering doing that myself.

I felt the difference when I had my interior stripped. Especially after I put everything back in.

stop by a DOT weigh scale on the side of the highway and ask if they'd weigh your car :P. A lot of gas stations by interstates have truck scales too and you'd probably get less of a hassle (like avoiding tickets... god damn the DOT)
