Thats an impossible question to answer! I know that the people who made the Z-Car's Saxo cut holes in most of interior metalwork to reduce weight.. I odn't think you would lose much weight if you wanted to keep it as a 4 seater, unless they were 4 super-light buckets with no padding!

I know people on the SSC go to extremes, hacking up wiring, removing sunroofs, poly windows, dashboards out!

It's amazing how much difference weight makes, there is a video of a super light, throttle bodied VTS beating an Impreza round the track at Bruntingthorpe proving grounds!

A few engine Modifications.. Lots of weight saving and decent suspension and brakes and you can have a car which is a lot faster than standard.
