      I'm going outside right now to fold down my rear seat to get more horsepower and remove weight.

        It's true, the same applies to a convertible top. If you fold it down, it will remove like 50 lbs.

          If you drive leaning all the way back, it reduces weight as well...

            same applies to the 06 z06. If you drive above 70, you'll lose some weight as well... your roof might fly off.

                inflate the tyres to 38psi for extra grip!!!!!

                dern, all these years of tire engineering and performance testing and i learn something new......... and here....all this time... the tire manufact.'s proved that with lower inflation pressures it increases the tread block flex and gives extra grip.....

                    And having your hair spiked while being dyed blonde not only helps to reduce weight in the imsolazyicantsitupstraightorevenclosetoit position but it also makes your head more aerodynamic. Can we say less drag?

                        I feel completely stupid now. Everytime I have gone to the track I have taken out the rear seats and let the air out of my tires to about 18-20psi. I could have ran alot faster times if had the vast car knowledge back then.

                        SFC( not sure what kind), drilled/slotted rotors, K&N air filter, all free mods, 3" Borla cat back exaust, electric exaust cut out, NGK spark plugs, royal purple motor oil, and Zaino .Maybe more. I find more stuff done to it everytime I look at it.

                            ???

                            This is a what car??? I think he has distorted weight shift with weight reduction. If you put a 100 lb slab of lead on your roof it will shift more weight to the rear tires on acceleration than a 100 lb weight on the floor. Yes I always ran my drag slicks with 38 lbs of air in them for rock traction. He should keep riding his tricycle.
