I wish I could drop 55 pounds off the front- most of my weight loss has been from the firewall back. I've dropped a lot of weight removing useless brackets, power seatbelts, emissions systems, sound deadener and padding, but by the time I'm done my car should only be about 350 pounds lighter with the same stock-minus-backseat appearance, well, except for some good race buckets. The car will keep a/c, cruise, power steering, the "tunes", and other things I could probably do without, but it'll still weigh about 2750 pounds (less if I do the back window in lexan or do a few other things that are questionable on a daily driver). I just looked up the curb weight on your car and it's 3591 pounds- >450 pounds is a lot of weight to lose. Just try to stop short of custom fabricating things in aluminum or worse, titanium. Weight reduction is supposed to be cheap speed, but you get addicted, and suddenly you're spending more to lose a few ounces than you would to gain 1 hp.

*Edit* Plumb forgot- how'd you drop the weight? C'mon, you can tell me- I'm just a slow four-cylinder guy. My ultimate goal puts me about two seconds slower in the quarter than you run now, so it probably won't give me a competitive advantage
