Here's one more interesting piece of info regarding shedding weight:
I contacted Motorsport24 in Germany regarding their carbon doors. It turns out these are not just generic off the shelf items. You can influence the build of them. For instance, if maximum lightness is your goal, they can use less resin, etc.
I was curious how much weight could be lost by replacing my stock gutted doors. I weighed my front doors and they are 35lbs each. I'll guess my rear gutted doors weigh about 30lbs each.
The carbon front and rear M24 doors weigh on average about 5lbs each......!!!
So you could lose around 110lbs from the car with a door swap. Nice!!
Cost: 3950 Euro (includes VAT, but not shipping). Takes about 4 weeks.
Anyway, I always wondered about the weight savings from doors. It was more savings than I thought it would be. And Motorsport24 was very responsive. If I were to do it, I think these guys would do a nice job. Jordan Yost's car runs them. I was chatting with him on Friday. He seems happy with his set on the coupe.
