I have to ask though, you say youre shooting for 200+, not a specific track time, so why all the emphasis on weight removal? Also I have to add, my car still has fully functional AC/PS, which Ive felt doesnt need to be removed until the car is taken off the road and used as a track car only.

I did not put down a track time because I find drag racing too simple... the emphasis on weight removal is for road racing, or at least autocross. I would like to do something different with the platform as I personally have not heard of anyone taking our power-plant on a course like Laguna Seca, Infineon, Thunderhill, all of which are within a 4 hour drive of me.
