Yeah, at the end its all in the micro ounces. Light is might and may even prolong the life of your engine to race another day. Less pull to push less tush.
I've made my stock look wire looms out of the ally and saved a whopping 1 pound.LOL.

Probably the best dollar per pound way to take weight out of most cars...

I always get a kick out of the chunky guys with lexan windows.



We prefer to be called Anorexic Resistant

I need to move my seat in the Spirit so my 130 lb buddy can make a few passes. Car goes 11.30 with my 360 lb big greasy a** in it - might crack into the 10.90's by "De-chunkifying"

Wow! I would not go to that extreme, but I do get the madness. There are pounds and ounces in them there hills on the sides, insides and fronts of blocks I guess. I'm just an angry little street car that needs to keep the Fat off.



You'll have the engine out this winter

No, I'll have those pesky mounting ears off faster than Van Gogh did his while the engine is still in the car this Spring. An ounce gets my attention, a pound gets me obsessed.LOL.

That rearview mirror looks like a ton of bricks on the door.

I already deleted mine during bodywork...
