I don't see how you came to that conclusion. Even changing the stuff you mentioned would not shave 500 pounds, which would be s2000 weight. If that were true we could easily get the car down to 2400 pounds gutted, which is just not going to happen.

There is definitely a good bit of weight to be lost on these cars, but lets keep it realistic. We gutted the entire car and have not saved 500 pounds. Weight does not come off nearly as easy as you first think it does
