I always link this thread when the topic of weight reduction comes up. 793 lb reduction on an Acura TL. I don't think people could go to much further extremes to reduce weight than this guy.

Weight reduction usually doesn't improve fuel economy much, but the cars improved performance and handling can make it more fun to drive.
