Pretty much what everybody else said: a/c, p/s, aluminum hood,etc. However there are a couple of other things you can do to get your weight down. Here are a couple of hard core racing weight saving tips:



1.) Remove unwanted body panels. They are just for looks anyways.

2.) You can do the "drivers seat mod." This would be a good time to upgrade to 4 point harnesses as well.

I would worry more about driving then picking flower petals.

buy some carbon sheet and learn how to make composites



fabricate any non strutural steel out of aluminum instead. get rid of those wings, buy light rims and aluminum racing coil-over shocks, clean the car out (no system), and start losing weight yourself



ppl beat me all the time cuz i'm tall (6'4") and heavy (280lbs)

i just gotta eat my twinkies :bigok:
