RE: Mustang on DIET ... what to replace?
Have a midget drive the car. Ok, I couldn't resist 
Anyways, everything I was thinkin has been said. Only other think I can think of is removing the rear seat, but you said that's a no-no. Do you use it often? If not, I know there's a rear seat delete kit that is carpeted and stuff so it looks nice and finished.

No, he didn't. He asked what he could do to lower the gross weight of his stang, and how much each lb would help him time wise on the 1/4

When I had my SLP LM on they weighed a total of 18 lbs. The stock ones are that each. I went from a stock H to an O/R X and I at least saved 30+ lbs so that's how I got to 50lbs. A gestimate on my part too except I did weigh the LM.

15' wheels with skinny tires in teh front.
that helps a LOT!
I have always wondered...might seem stupid, but hey, I am just wondering....
What would happen if you inflated your tires with helium?
Would that make your car weight less?

why. All that does is lower the front weight percentage. And thats sucks on roadcourse races.
