Default Put her on a diet!!

Ive been doin alot of racing in my cobra on And off the street thinking about dropin a couple lbs. Without having to buy anything in to replace what i take out. Ive already done the obvious reductions like spare tire and and tools out. Ive got a 96 with 4:10s and 275 bfg drag radials running 13.7 1/4mile times and i hook pretty good from a dig. Any advice on how to put her on a diet.... Thanks

remove the backseats and move the battery & reinstall it in the trunk (over the right rear wheel).

If you want to cut a lot of weight, gut the interior. There is quite a bit stuff you can take off your car while not buying anything. Read this thread, lots of weight reduction ideas and how many pounds your shedding at the same time.

The furthest I'd go is taking the spare tire and tools out of the trunk, battery relocate to trunk, and rear seat delete. Gutting the interior reminds me of Hondas. Push some real power to the wheels and let that b*tch fly. Just my .02
