lightening the stang

[stovalini69]

ok this may sound dumb but... i want to lighten my stang but keep the "nice" interior look and comfortability is there any alternatives? help

[JROC]

A fiberglass/Carbon Fiber hood is a good place to start.
Aftermarket K-member and Control arms.
Maybe some lighter wheels.
Race seats.

[KyleUSAF]

i dunno how much these would help but...

rear seat delete
aluminum driveshaft

lose the spare

[SpectorV]

any alternative is going to be very expensive. It takes about 120lbs~ to shave off a tenth of a second so you can do the math.. if you was to pull out the backseat, passenger seat, entire trunk you would be NEARLY at 120lbs.

Slimfast.

Add a huge ricer wing and drive on empty!

[Thomas91169]

the hood and trunklids are already Fiberglass.

my weight reduction would consist of..........
Stereo System
rear seat delete
remove sound deadener
spare
miscellaneous hardware in dash
Eating Healthy
Going to Gym
External Fuel Cell
Lose EGR/Emissions shit
Lightweight rims
tubular suspension whatever

of course, i believe all that work for .1-.2 off the 1/4 is bullshit, and could have been accounted for with proper tuning and/or some sort of other modification.

if you check out CobraBob's Stang Shifter Gaskets - Advertisers it will give you a good list of 2003/2004 cobra weight reduction mods which a good number will also translate into GT weight reduction.
