It's surprising how much extra weight neptronix was able to find and remove.
His observations on the weight reduction results are also interesting.
I enjoyed his thread, but there was a *lot* of hyperbole. Suggesting a massive difference in how the car handles turns by removing "parts of the headliner" ? Good ideas, and I'm certain many of his mods helped, but it reads strongly of placebo as well.
