The "normal" weight of the car, meaning no stock battery, is around 3085 lbs, no fuel no driver. There are plenty more places to lose weight out of the car---carbon roof, plexiglass rear windshield, wiring thinning, remove dash and center console, cut out the rear deck, little bits here and there that can be cut off. But I don't have any plans to do any of that in the foreseeable future. For now, I just want to get the stock battery out.
While making the car lighter is always a goal, I do have to consider that the car can only get so light if I want to stay in NASA TT1. I can go a bit lighter, but not a whole lot. Tuning the car's hp down is not an option if I want to stay with the VF supercharger tune. I would have to go to an aftermarket tuner which doesn't excite me......
