Right now, we're just baby stepping. Learning what we can about the car. Trust me on this one, for stock, there aren't a lot of go fast parts to throw at this car. I'm just enjoying the challenge for the moment.

I am thinking we can find a 100 pounds or so fairly easy...
The thing still has the spare and jack in it. The complete exhaust system besides being restrictive weighs something. The A/C Comp can come off, that might be the biggest single reduction.
Trunk mats and hood insulation is a little more. Speakers can come out
Beyond that it gets tougher.
I don't know if the rule of thumb we used to use where 100 lbs equal a tenth still holds with this type of car or not.
