remove everything you deem not necessary from inside the car. seats, carpet, trim, etc thats the free stuff.
if you are a guy who believes in the ends justify the means, you can get lighter tires; lighter rims, lightest ive seen is 12 pounds, replace some or all glass with polycarbonate(lexan); replace ll possible body parts with polyurethane or fiberglass or kevlar; remove the spare, and have AAA handy; switch to lighter racing seats; etc etc, you get my idea. in order to gain 4-5%, you end up spending alot of money, or time for fabrication. you decide.
