Holy cow!!! 2000lbs, 2300lbs??? You guys are lucky!!! I wish I could do some weight reduction on my car. It is almost 3100 lbs stock + I have 130 lbs in the trunk and about 40 lbs more in car audio equipment inside! Also, I'm not willing to forego all the power accessories! :grin:
I'm so torn in between the two - sound and comfort vs performance+sound and comfort. I would consider CF hood in the future though... and also I already do have lightweight rims - 11 lbs a piece. So I still AM half-and-half! :grin:
But 100lbs = 8HP? That seems a little optimistic doesn't it? I don't know if it is that much of a difference, but I don't know that for a fact. Do you have any kind of proof? I don't even know how you could try to prove that on the dyno, since the dyno is disjoint from vehicle weight... only wheel weight could, if at all, make a difference on the dyno. Track times could be one way to compare, but that wouldn't tell you "8HP" per-say. So I'm curious.
