It was off topic on the 'dodgyfuel guages' thread as it started to slant towards power to weight ratios, torque vs. max. kw and so forth.

So I'll say it here too

What things are you 'guys' (any women z owners???) doing to improve the power to weight ratio by lightening things up. Lighter wheels are a start but how about ditchinbg the seats with their very heavy heating units for some good quality replacements like the usual Recaro's. Would be interested to hear what difference that makes - what 30 kilos + ?? Other things? Body replacement kits?

Also, on a completry different topic (maybe it needs another thread??) I thought about a sun roof when I was thinking about getting the Z but when I looked at the scgematic of the car (got the web bookmark here somewhere...) I saw that there are some air bag componenrs in the roof that may mean that a sun roof is not feasible? Anyone got any comments on that?
