strip the interior, cut out the insides of the doors, remove air bags, single seat, race fuel tank, list really goes on and on! but remember once you start stripping weight your balance will be to ****, so investment into electronic brake balancers are a good idea. and weight obviously isnt every thing, getting the centre of gravity as low as possible is very very important, but really depends how far you want to go
