I'm creating this thread for a couple of reasons. First, I'm getting into auto cross and I've pretty much maxed out my power, so the next thing to do is reduce weight and up my suspension. Second I've seen a lot of people (with and without V6's) post about what they can do for weight savings. However there is no comprehensive list and what's worse is that the response people give is "Oh you can save
about X-Y weight with this mod." A lot of people's responses are estimates and it's becoming increasingly difficult to get concrete information.
I am just now starting to look into the various weight of pieces in our car and I will update as I find them. Anyone is free to contribute to this and I will update this post. However please reference your source, other wise this is just another thread based of hear-say and speculation.
