hidden power questions

I took out the mach 460 rear deck too thats at least 60lbs. Another good idea that was touched on is getting lighter wheels, even if its only 2 in back. If you sell your old ones wont cost you much at all. Along those lines an aluminum drive shaft would also complement the weight reduction.

i didnt think the hood was fiberglass...if it is then its just exceptionally heavy cuz my fiberglass stalker hood is like half the weight...and not sure about the trunk but obviously carbon fiber would make a difference..on any body part for that matter...i think the heaviest thing we have are the doors and i dont even wanna know how much carbon fiber doors could cost lol

I refuse to buy the seat delete becasue it looks like crap. it looks recesses into the surrounding hard plastic of the rear deck etc. ill make one that sits more flush and looks better.
i have not taken my seat out to see what i am dealing with yet, but i can't imagine it takes too many brain cells to make something up.

i already have stock mustang 5 spoke wheels powdercoated black that im running now. and i wont sacrifice those kinds of looks for some weight. as far as removing audio... i enjoy my music and would probably never do that. so i think this answers my question. there really is no hidden power to be found.

Weight reduction is your only other option if cams/heads and power adders are out of the question.....I can't seem to understand why they would be considering adding power is what you want. You can pick up a nitrous kit for a few hundred bucks and add 100rwhp. more than all your bolt ons combined.
You can do a rear seat delete, spare + jack delete, get rid of your quad shocks since you have UCAs + LCAs, get rid if the wishbone on the diff, alum flywheel, alum DS, k-member, a-arms, coil-overs, and a few others. All that should get you right around 3000lbs or less. Losing 250lbs off your cars weight is like adding 30rwhp. Most of that is coming off the front end mind you which is great for weight transfer.
