Nice ride dude ^_^ Very good find.
A buddy of mine through the NASIOC meets here in NoVA has an S2k that's a total sleeper. He's purchasing a top end turbo kit for it, no clue which one, and he's done a ton of top secret weight reduction stuff to it. He told me one night that he basically went to his engine bay with a sawzall and cut off a ton of metal bracketry and other things that apparently served little purpose. I think I remember him saying that he also removed all the sound-deadening tar from underneath the floor carpeting. Talk about a PITA!
He says he dropped a total of like 300-350 pounds when all was said and done!
Noice choice on the white btw, white sports cars are the hotness. My next one will be

I call BS on that one. Tar and misc bracketry is worth at most 50 lbs - and thats stretching it.

Could be very true, but that wasn't the extent of all he's done. I'll have to ask him next time I see him and get a more accurate quote and his list of stuff ^_^

Dropping 350lbs out of any car is a lot of work. You will need to lighten the body work, windows, remove p/s and a/c, sound deadening, etc.... its not like gran tourismo "stage 2 lightening"

Maybe he removed the transmission :lol:
Alright Mikey, when is your first autox?
