I’ve taken over 200lb from that car without gutting anything besides the trunk what I found was the best bang for your buck in weight reduction is a lithium battery (18.5# in that car but I bet over 30# reduction for the G42) and 1 piece bucket seats (just under 90# reduction). My G42 will stay a heavy pig though 😂
To me it makes a difference especially when going into tight turns. It’s not about fault driving. This is about tracking and getting the fastest times possible. This is exactly what I need along with other things to reduce weight. I left the airbags in because I didn’t want to have to code the ECU to have the airbag light off indefinitely lol
