are you lokking to lighten it up for good or just for a quick race? if its for a quick race you could keep the gas level down really low.

Break out your wallet and order carbon everything. I assume you already gutted the interior and are down to a drivers seat and no plastic at all??
The rear windows can be replaced with lexan/plexiglas, but the appearance of rivits or bolts looks kind of silly to me. Do a search on this..someone actually weighed out all the stock stuff and replacement parts and came up with a 200lb difference I think....Custom light rims, lightened flywheel, and skinnies in the back would do just as much good.
edit...READ ME

run on a treadmill. If you're fat, losing weight will make your car faster along with being in better health.
