Default thinking more and more about putting rear seat back in

What do you guys here think about the rear seat thing: I took it out to try and see how much power it would give me, I guess it does gain some, I feel the car seems lighter, but is this enough to warrant keeping them out? Im wanting to put them back rather than trying to put a custom carpet down . This was the plan if I kept the rear s out.

LOL it felt a bit better honestely! I also had the pass seat out though... I think Ill put them back though, once I get 3.73 gears, the car will pull its wieght whether or not the rear seats are in or not.

Mine has the stock interior and I use the back seat from time to time when we hop in and go to a cruise in.

Ya, I just think the look is there when the seats are in, without the seats its just so unfinished looking... I dont think its worth spending $ for carpet to try and make it look good w no seats..

im not saying there wasnt a diff. in the acceleration of the car, but you didnt "gain" power, you still have the same amount of power, just less junk to move

is this a track car or a DD?

Make a rear seat delete? You could do it for dirt cheap and it would give the interior a more finished look.
