True, but the gains if they are there are so minimal it's not worth it to me to have an ugly car. If I were to do weight reductino it would be:

1. Squid hatch, fenders, hood
2. OZ Superleggera wheels (17's are like 18lbs a piece)
3. Racing seats
4. No spare
5. No rear seatbelts
6. Go on a diet

But having an ugly car? No....we drive pretty cars.
