Glad you kept the list. I'll probably have more to add this Fall and over the winter.

Actually it's heavier than it was last year. I went back to a full size battery, which added 17 pounds more on the nose of the car! Car now weighs 3065 without ballast, but with me in it and a quarter tank of gas.

O wow, So the car is probably in the 2750 range with out you in it guessing your 200-250lbs, (Seen you from a distance) lol

I thought you saying the car was in the 3,000 range was the way it sat with out you in it...

I have been removing weight from my car today, thanks to this list. Its very helpful. Is the spoiler just a 9 lb reduction in weight or even at my slow ass speed does it create some drag?

Just remember, 10 nine pound items still equals 90lbs.

Its like the old saying, How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I'm ordering a new transmission and TQ on tuesday so I'm gonna try and get some weight off before they arrive. Hey if I lose 20 lbs that would help also. I think I will work on making a rear seat delete first and just think about losing the 20lbs.
