Problem is, I think it would require major surgery to shed alot more weight.....

Carbon fiber body panels everywhere, titanium pieces like: wheelie bars, rear housing, wheel studs, brackets, etc., take the whole car down to the shell and dip it, minimum amount of bodywork and paint, carbon driveshaft....

Hah, I didn't see removed inner fenders! Any faster will just need more HP...



lol those are gone also cant find much left. just ordered a fiberglass grill, plastic headlights to shed a few more #s this thing is just a tub




For all the stuff you did already, it is heavy...
I assume your chassis is moly... might need to start
turning in your fiberglass for carbon fiber

Or Billet block with more cubes, one guy on here has one at 650 cubes with a billet block Hemi 99 and it ran low 7's on a testing outing....probably cheaper than CF parts in the long run...Paint, fitting etc.

At the speeds your going, there may something to gain with attention to aerodynamics. IE.. different scoop, belly pans, flush mount windshield, lowering car, etc...
Additional weight loss will be $$$.

Good Luck. Awesome car!
