Hey David, have you heard about the Yellow Mustang Registry?

WOW, I am glad to see so much enthusiasm about shedding weight. Every race car I have built has always been from the platform of weight reduction. Remember "Weight to Power" ratio? All suggestions are valid. Some a little scary, but valid. I have also gone as far as removing all unnecessary wiring. Do you know how much wire weighs. But, Soaring and David_K are right, a BIG item to remove, since it is a convertible, is the motor and all the hardware that goes along with raising and lowering. Yes, you will have to secure the convertible top in the raised position, but for weight savings this is another item to assault. Remember, light is fast.
