the farthest i would go as far as lightening the weight is removing the back seats and removing the spare tire.. but you wont be able to take friends or GIRLS around with you.. and if you ever get a flat goodluck lol

[mustang1072]

cause its the cheapest way to mod it ...

Weight Reduction is going to be worth MAYBE .00001 second on our cars
(for what you can "cheaply anyway)

ya i was thinkin more along the lines of maybe carbon fiber door panels.. stuff along those lines

no really you can strip interior take out a/c and all accessories and. get a lightweight racing seat. and maybe take off .3 of a sec.

carbin fiber isnt cheap.. and the labor to have someone customly do your interior like that would be outrageous.. not worth it at all..

that weigh will hardly matter on the street.. if its your DD dont remove anything MAYBE you back seat and the spare tire.. other then that i wouldnt go through all that troubl to still get stomped by all the cars that beat you before

CF door pannels (the entire door pannel)

Seems like that would be expensive....

Maybe you should look into

A Super or a Turbo Charger... for some performance

yeah lol why take away from the cars sexyness and functionality to get faster when you could just add more power to move the weight you already have

HAHAHA why would you let anyone do that to your car?

[Mustang RacR94]

Im not personally saying how much all this is going to lose you and im not condoning you but here goes, buy a rear seat delete, strip the carpeting out of the trunk and take everythng out, buy airbag deletes and sell ur airbags, buy racing seats, take off door panels and take out sound proofing(then put them back on) take audio system out, certain roll cages can lighten ur car, buy an electric water pump(alot of work with reroutin serpintine)carbon fiber parts all that jazz its all up to u thu.......mainly for cheap get rid of airbags and sound proffing itll make the car rattle and stuff but its up to u, rear seat delete, strip trunk, difrent seats and strip audio

i heard the steering wheel is heavy too better off to steer with a pair of vice grips lol

[Mustang RacR94]

yea if u really really want to strip wight lol follow that article strip carpet tar, celing upholstry, it doesnt save much but u can buy a carbon fiber intake, just depends how far r actually willing to go, personally id go with more power then going insane and over the edge with stripping weight, which im sure u werent going that far and just wanted to know some tips but overall its not really worth losing all the luxurys def. if its ur daily driver IMO
