c63 weight diet things to take out to reduce weight

every pound helps if you add it up. does most people looking to shed weight drive without the spare tire and jack?

Other things to consider to lose weight on car:
exhaust is pretty heavy. Aftermarket reduces around 20 pounds.

Unsprung weight, lighter wheels/tires.

Doors are pretty heavy, do they have carbon fiber doors available for the coupes?

any other ideas?

Wait for Mthis to chime in or PM him.

Edit: his post from before but he can update.

If someone really wants they can get a c63 down to under 3500lbs

cf hood 34
cf trunk 14
rotors 40
headers mids 11
race exhaust 30
race seat 48 (that's the seat and bracket 17lbs give or take 1lbs)
15lb batt 50
pass seat 65
rear seats top bottom floor mats 60
drag set up rear wheels and skinnies 70
Cf dtm bumper 8
Cf roof 40

Total saving 470lbs
3910-470=3440. Now that lightweight

This sounds like a bad idea, espically if you're redcuing weight for racing.
