Well, the car scaled at 2800lbs even on a scale designed to +/- 5pound accuracy (for metal shipping)
And so I've deleted a few non-essential systems, but the interior is getting gutted and rebuilt in my own style (yes folks, urban cammo) And then I'm adding in teh ICE and control systems, as well as the safety gear to allow for passing the tech in any race class I enter (so top-line safety, heavy.)
Probly what we call 90-wall (0.90 inch thickness) 1.5 inch (i think) roll cage (6 point minimum) so that will add a chunk.
The stock seats are all coming out, as well as teh A/C and many other items.
The floor of the hatch area might need to be cut (so so unfortunate) I hate ctting good sheet metal on a car like this.
But we gonna need room for a fuel cel instead of teh stock tank.
The bumpers will prolly get replaced with something with an aluminum core, and the rest of the wieght saving is in items like replacing the rear 3 windows with plexi, possible fiberglass fenders and hood, and mass centralization for increased rotational ability.
All teh mass will be centered int eh passenger compartment - increasing the handling and lowering the CG even if the car doesn't really LOSE weight. heh

I figure that with all the items going back IN, there will be a real minimum of savings, but the overall will be better.

Now the game is, what frikken engine to run!?!? lol.
