lose weight if your over 200 pounds, and under 6 foot tall. gut the interior, remove the tar sound deadner mats, lose the spare tire and jack. aluminum suspension likerearlower control arms and front control arms, a front traction bar setup, lose the entire hvac system, the ac and the heat, all the ducting under the dash, the control head. remove the radio and speakers.lexan windows. lose the rear windshiled wiper. get rid of heatshields on exhaust.lose the windshield fluid reservoir.get rid of anything the is unnesesary in the engine compartment.carbon fiber stuff like fenders, hood, and trunk. forger lightweight wheels in a 15' dia. replace the sunroof with carbon fiber or aluminum if you have one.

get a full exhaust header high flow cat - you will save weight with that cause the factory stuff is heavy.
