Interior panels and rear seats hardly weigh anything. Front seats are heavy though. Replace seatbelts with harnesses. Ditch the ABS, heater, AC, spare tire, sunroof, insulation pad under dash, metal bumpers, sound system. Replacing the hood with a carbon fiber or light fiberglass one makes a difference, as well as replacing all glass with lexan or speedglass. Although a lexan windshield is not street legal. Lighter wheels and lighter brake components reduce unsprung weight, as well as overall weight, a double bonus. If you really wanted to get crazy, you could start cutting out inner structure panels and acid-dip fenders and such. :bounce:
