now your just confusing me mike. i'm gonna say you dropped some sarcasm
He is not kidding, this year he is goal is massive traction. The easiest way for it is more wieght. He now has weights in the trunk to keep the tires from breaking loose in sand and water.

As far as weight loss, AC, ABS, PS, spare tire and jack, metal brackets in trunk, rear seat, front and rear bumper supports, sound deadining material, cut down each bolt that has more than 3 threads sticking out the back (someone on here is famous for this), drill hole through spot welds and remove pannel supports (the cage will hold it together anyhow), glove box, trim panels, shift knob, center counsel, misc screws that are not needed (things that have 12 screws holding it while it could be done efficiently with 2), rear wiper motor and arm assembly, spoiler, emblems, hubcaps, visors, carpeting, passengers seat, undercoating material, rear drive assembly and convert to FWD (saves alot of weight ), vents, heater box, power windows, power mirrors, power locks, pass headlight, foglights, cf hood and fenders, and lexan windows.

There is a site on the internet somewhere that says the wieght of parts. I cannot find it now but will look again later.
