Sorry for the noob posts, guys
. Just wondering what some of you guys are doing to shed some pounds off our Camaros. I'm talking about mods and upgrades that save weight, and not necessarily gutting the car. Weight savings for daily drivers, not drag stip.
1. Anyone remove the spare tire? This thing has to be 45lbs of "dead" weight. We got on-star road side assistanc,man! Do we really need to have this dead- weigh in our trunks?
2. My 1LT v6 has the alloy wheels, and I hope that there's some lighter wheels and tire combos out there, not sacrificing strength---preferably in the 20" range. Upgrading to lighter wheels and tire combo could shed another total 40-50 lbs easily (rotational mass lowered improves performance, too).
3. Anyone know how much a CAI kit weighs vs the stock kit? What about upgrading axle-back kit vs the stock exhaust? HOpefully there's some weight savings there, maybe 20lbs? If you got the numbers, please share.
