Lightening the FC

Hey guys,

I have a 88 Vert, and I want to do as much as I can to lighten it. If there is anything I can do?

Start ripping **** out, thats all lightening a car is.... Doesnt make sense unless its strickly a track car. But if it were, you would rip everything out of the car, mostly interior pieces, and throw in a roll cage for support.

uhhh....unless you REALLY like verts, if you are trying to lighten it, its kind of pointless, verts weigh about 300lbs more than coupes, meaning just to get to the lighter weight of a coupe you would need to strip the whole interior, tar and all, and replace the drivers seat with a plastic milk crate. good luck
