[QUOTE="SixPak, post: 15182331, member: 142259"] Stock 19" wheels with Pirelli 235's weigh about 60lbs a corner. So wheels and tires are a good place to start trimming weight plus improving traction. An aluminum or CF driveshaft will save you 20-25lbs rotational mass easily. OR X or H pipe will save considerable weight since the factory Cats could be used as boat anchors, not to mention freeing up some horsepower. High flow Cats go a long way in the same department if you want to stay legal for the street. [ATTACH=full]672475[/ATTACH] Factory 19" wheel with Pirelli P Zero Nero 235-35. 59lbs, give or take a few ounces. [ATTACH=full]672476[/ATTACH] I put these on my '12 GT and trimmed a few pounds off each corner. 19"x9" CF5V Forgestars with 255-40 MT Street Comps. 52lbs, give or take a few ounces. Taking that much unsprung weight off the corners makes a huge difference in the the way the car handles, and the Mickey's hook up way better than the pirellis did. A little pricey, but worth it. The CF5V 19"x9" wheels weigh about 23lbs each, one of the lightest 19" wheels out there. I have heard they will accept 275's but would do a little more research before I tried that. [/QUOTE]
