Default 2hr diet=100+lbs loss in stang

So I'm getting ready for the track coming up on the 20th if all goes well. Today I have set out to do the following diet. Nothing to drastic. I can always put back the stuff.

Rear seat delete-15lbs with seatbelts. Already done
Spare tire and jack-35lbs
Front sway bar and radiator-25lbs
Passenger seat-50lbs I have airbags in mine
Owner/driver-5lbs by the 20th. [8D]

These weights arent to spec But with all mentioned above it should be over 100lbs or right at it. I'm looking for 11's with my car. But I guess I can settle for a low 12's. My mods are in my sig, I will be on the 175shot.

Stock clutch will be my weaklink, along with my 26" et streets slicks. I need like a 15inch bogart rim with huge talland wide tireslike tirefryer or however his name is spelled.

That seems a little drastic just for you to get in the 11s. If you are running a 175 shot and ET Streets you should be there easy without gutting your car.

Do you have the Shaker 1000??? I took my speaker box out of the trunk and it weighed 40 lbs. That combined with the spare tire kit 35, back seat 14 and right front seat 40ish was 130 lbs.

That'sthe plan for my next track day.

Question on the Sway Bar Delete part and the radiator support. How does that effect the handling of the car as a daily driver?
