u didnt notice anything ... ? hmmm the front seat alone is close to 25 lbs ... rear seat 5lbs top part of rear seat = 11lbs ... rug is 4 lbs .. sound deading on the passenger side came close to 11 lbs ...rear plastics .. 2-3lbs ... rear spare another 15lbs rear jack 6lbs ... unorthadox racing pulley is 5 lbs (compared to the 15lbs stocker) now with my math thats 72 lbs ..... i took the weight of an rs automatic ... and came up with this ... without the weight reductions ... the car pulls 20lbs per hp... with them ..19lbs per hp .. u might think ... well thats only 1lb ... but thats per hp ..and there are 140 of them ... and thats stock thats not factoring in the modifications ..

dr .. imagine running a carbon copy of yourself and your car .. they shadow dr .... would have the same mods .. but the other is 100lbs lighter ...off the line with the same launch ... you will lose ... top end u will lose... gas mileage u will lose .. stopping power youll take longer .. u see what im getting at
