At this point it would be substituting premium materials. Look at the Z06. An all aluminum frame, Carbon Fiber panels. All of that $$$$ only saved 160 pounds and some of that was taken back by the added weight of the powertain, wheels and brakes.
If it could be, it would be.

I'm sure a lot of weight could be saved if we started dismantling safety equipment but I'm loathe to do that. Somebody suggested removing some of the less-essential bumper reinforcements, but its that one time that bites you. I hope to drop about 50 pounds total by the time my build is finished. I think a lot will come off when those huge mufflers get replaced.
