are you sure of this?
my buddy has one in his garage since he just repainted his engine bay and claims there's no way it weighs more than 5lbs, with the pump on it even.

You can switch to manual steering, get an aluminum hood, take off all the heatshields, air pump & emissions stuff, get lighter wheels and tires, put a piece of lexan in place of the sunroof if you have one and dont care... :mullet:
