Weight Issues, Car is too dang heavy! Options

[Anub1s]

I look at the GVW of my car and it was 3495 lbs! That is way too heavy for a small car like that. So.... I was wondering what the best way to free up some weight would be without sacrificing too much.

yea taking stuff off to lighten it would do more harm than good. when they made the car the developers weren't thinking, hey lets make it out of heavy material! im pretty sure they researched into the lightest and safest material (also more economical and realistic) for our cars. i mean even the frame support bar behind the front bumper is light as f*&# if you have ever taken it off, but its pretty strong.

the best thing to do i guess is switch to lighter rims, get rid of any heavy subs =p, and don't let anyone ride with you. cf hood would be your next bet. then if u can sacrifice ur A/C. if you want to get rid of your spare tire, make sure u have a tire repair kit in the car (and a pump).

hey whats that link for those doods that made some slow car into a 10 second one by taking absolutely everything off cept the wheels, steering wheel, gas tank, and frame? that was classic
